The An-1250 dipped its nose, with the front wheel touching down just a slight moment after the main landing gear, and then all eight engines opened reverse thrust, braking at full force.

This was still unloaded at only 440 tons. If it were to carry an H2 spacecraft or the three core stages of the New Yuan-2A, the weight would be close to 700 tons, and each landing would require full active deceleration.

Since the landing was on Runway 2, the An-1250 was further away from the crowd, and finally, when it passed the end of the runway, two fire trucks from both sides sprayed water to create a water curtain, which planes usually pass under.

However, due to the massive size of the An-1250, the water curtain could only barely wash over the nose, and that was even with the firefighters adjusting the height of the water cannons to the limit.
