yea they are doing testing on the structure of the cabin and the wheels, like if the cabin will hold up to being straightened up on landing and if the back wheels will support straighting up the plane, if that makes sence.

Isn't that the procedure when landing in strong side winds?

Yep, its termed the crab method, basically you come in travelling straight with the runway, but the nose is pointed off centre into the wind, when close to the runway the pilots manipulate the rudders to align the plane with the runway.
