There's a feature that's been part of large military aircraft for many years that turn the main landing gear in the direction of flight to allow for crosswind landings. Lockheed invented it as I recall.

Boeing obviously is using it now. It all ties into the CADC, INS, and GPS. (I was an avionics tech in another life while in the USAF)
