If drag alone is going to stop the aeroplane it will need a very long RW.AOA also prduces lift which reduces the friction also the aircraft is skimming with minimal contact with the RW. If aerodynamic breaking worked then why would no Airline recommend it? It will save brake wear,save thrust reverser mentainenece. Actually it is recommended to put nosewheel on ground as soon as possible and apply breaking. Aerodynamic breaking is the least efficient procedure.
