Can a passenger airplane land without using brakes?

Yes. It is possible.I had instrumentation installed on a MD10-10 airliner and was recording the brake operation and loads during landing. The aircraft landed at the airport in Austin, TX, on the runway that is 12,250 feet length. The runway has some dips and a slight rise on the North end, with a turn-off at the very end. The loaded aircraft landed and rolled the full length of the runway without applying brakes until he had to turn off.


Why do airplanes land sideways?

They don't actually land sideways, but will approach sideways depending on the amount of cross-wind. Aircraft turn into the wind, like a weathervane, so if coming in to land on a east to west runway, and the wind is from the southwest, then the aircraft will point southwest during descent. Just before the tyres contact the runway, the pilot will give it a bootful of right rudder, to align the wheels and runway. Once the tyres are in contact, the aircraft will keep reasonably straight along the runway, the pilot helping with brakes and rudder as required.
