Hi SOPS,

By my best knowledge the Convair CV-990 Coronado was one of the few commercial planes equipped with a nose wheel braking system.. It was the contender of the B 707 and DC 8 in the 60'ties. Swissair was one of the few companies who bought them new. I remember the approach speeds were rather high .


Good Flying!
