Metal Airbus A-320T

Sorry, I forgot the A320T-5 (the one intended for mass-production, millions of units):

[B777LR]

That should lower the price a bit, as well as the fuel consumption A320Green?

Woah that's super excellent, Tophe! I love your "T" tail! You're a genius for taking the T tail to the next level!!!

Thank you all, well I fear I am a poor modeller rather than a genius modeller. Why would there be such a tail (out of my mind)? I imagine something like that:
- at landing, going downward, the airflow from the low wing produces vortex on the low tailplane, so a T-tailplane is better
- at take off, going upward, the airflow from the wing produces vortex on the high T-tailplane, so a low-tailplane is better
As a whole, it is better to have a VG tailplane going up and down, or else: a double-tailplane, up and down, T-tail.
Maybe our Ing. Elmayerle would say this is crazy for this and that reason, but for a moment I feel like a genius engineer... Ahem...

It would certainly freak someone out! They would think that the tail plane would have fallen of!

Actually, i think the Soviets found that T-tail was useless for landing too, and anything that involved the nose being higher than the rear.

T-tail should be better for STOL though, allowing the tailplane more "clean" air for the elevator see the DHC-7/8 + ATR
