| Nov 13, 2018 at 2:14 | comment | added | Zeus | @Ron, the spar will run through either way. If we don't want to compromise the internal space, we can drop the low wing below the fuselage, like on Cessna Citation, or raise the high wing, like on IL-76. The real issue is simply the ground clearance and deck height. | |

| Nov 9, 2018 at 18:03 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | The biggest issue with a low wing aircraft is the main wing spar that will run through the aircraft. This is why most heavy lift cargo aircraft are high-wing designs, like the C-17 Globemaster III and the Antonov AN-225 | |
