"The aircraft does not like landing with side force on the gear and it is critical to get it straight at touchdown for that reason."

What a delicate and mincing device that must be. You may compare it to the competition:

"The airplane can land using crab only (zero sideslip) up to the landing crosswind
guideline speeds"

Good thing all the geniuses and astronauts are on the whale.
