Okay, so all kidding aside, what are the issues between high and low

wings?
I know that in terms of flying, there are very few differences between

your
average Cessna and Piper, but for higher performance aircraft, what are

the
aerodynamic/design tradeoffs?

For example:

Why are most of the more expensive private aircraft (cirrus, pilatus,

pretty
much all multi engine and jet) low wings?


Good thing you said "pretty much", since I co-pilot a Jetprop (Twin
Commander) which is a high wing. :~)
