Where aero braking was once used, simply use idle reverse and normal rollout procedures in a modern airplane.
Naaah, my Triple comes down luvvverly with aerodynamic braking to 60 kts with full reverse and then slamming the nose wheel into the deck to jolt first class as the elevator runs out of lift.

Actually, the younger 'guys' do tend to let the lift dumpers and reversers slam the nose wheel into the runway. A gentle bit of 'flying' the nose wheel onto the runway often gives the G&T's in First a lighter touchdown.

Toodle pip.
