I think that is what is referred to as "thinking outside the box". LOL -

All modern commercial aircraft that I can think of came in at least 2 different lengths. I think the champion is the A320. They had 4. 318/319/320/321.... -
Longer arms give not just pitch authority, but pitch damping. It effects both static and dynamic pitch stability. Same is true in yaw. Longer versions...Leave a comment:
