My initial point is that high-wing designs are inherently more stable when moving through a dynamic atmosphere, and evolution proves it. We see this in insects and bats as well. It's as simple as *not being top heavy*. It's a gravitational factor. --- |

Well thank goodness commercial airlines dont use low wing planes. I wouldnt want to travel in an inherently unstable death trap. Did I mention I fly Pipers because I like them much better than Cessnas?
