but on a typical commercial aircraft, braking deceleration will shift weight on nose gear by only a few percent (8% static to 11% at 0.4g deceleration to give a number).
Thanks - interesting figures. I'm particularly interested in VLJs (eg CJ1, Phenom 100, etc) which don't have the luxury of thrust reversers.
My "best guesstimate", based on no more than flying them, plus a lot of motorcycle crashing (!) is that some sort of nosewheel braking, with stability control, might add a lot to landing performance in the wet. Perhaps not so much an issue with the CJ range, as they have low undercarriage and long wheelbase, but (for example) the Phenom 100 is relatively high with a relatively short wheelbase compared to CJ.
