A little more perspective
Lockheed Martin’s C-5M product card lists a height of 19.84 meters. The U.S. Air Force also identifies that height as the overall tail reference. This view selects the modernized C-5M with its cargo doors closed and normal extended landing gear, not a kneeling loading position.
The high T-tail sets the overall top endpoint. Cargo-compartment height is a separate internal clearance and cannot replace it. Keeping the doors closed and the landing gear in its normal stance also prevents an open nose door or a kneeling loading position from changing the selected outline.
