Extra long props required more clearance?

Great looking Fiat. I owned a Lancia Beta like this back in the 80s. Great drivers car but poor build quality.

It curves upward at the rear to raise the triple tail out of the prop wash and slightly downward at the front so the nose-gear strut didn’t have to be impossibly long. Lockheed decided that the airplane’s admittedly large propellers needed even more ground clearance than did Douglas or Boeing on their competing transports, which resulted in the Connie’s long, spindly gear legs.
