Default RE: Low wing design faster than a high wing design?
ORIGINAL: e=mc2

Any interference drag reduction of high wing might be offset by the higher downwash on the tail increasing the drag due to having to maintain a larger down force on the tail.
e-mc2,

In that case would a high wing and T-tail be a better combo for speed?
