Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:I am curious as to how/why the nosegear collapsed during the heavy braking that followed the rejected take-off. I seem to recall that part of the certification process for an airliner included demonstrating that it was capable of coming safely to a stop after a rejected take-off at V1 with the airliner at maximum take-off weight (MTOW), with maximum wheel braking and no thrust reversers deployed.
(From the pictures, it doesn't look like the nosegear collapse was caused by overrunning the runway.)
