"327 KPH?"

Yup - "Ludicrous speed"

Even the SR-71 doesn’t land that fast, nor the space shuttle.

If they were really going 327kph and they only had one shot at the runway due to dead stick landing, (no engines) then I guess that could explain why they didn’t deploy landing gear. To try to make a skid landing I guess. Still, I wouldn’t even think of trying to simulate that landing at 327 knots.
