Question

Does anyone know if having a T-Tail would be beneficial to STOL capability?? Most of the jet a/c with tails- 727,F-28,BAC-111,Trident,DC-9, BA-146 etc etc were all designed to be operated into and out of short strips in fairly hot and high conditions. I guess it could help due to the increased moment arm- anyone know??
