what is the difference between wings, Symetric, semi-symetric, and flat-bottom ?. and what effect does each of them have on an aircraft?

@Heavy_Mause what? What's bloody funny with my statement there?
Look at that :

Symmetric does not produce lift in level flight. It has a high stall speed, and is recommended to be used on fighter jets and things that go fast
Semi symmetric can produce lift at all times even at level flight. It has a lower stall speed than symmetric and is to be used on many aircraft such as airliners and WW2 prop aircraft.
Flat bottom can produce very high lift, meaning it has the least stall speed. It is recommended to use flat bottom on slow aircraft such as biplanes or bush planes
@OPaiTaOn symetric will produce little to no lift, semi-symetric is producing lift, also the most stable out of all 3 in term of stability, flat bottom produce the most lift with mediocre stability
@WarshipDude thanks
It will differ in the amount of lift it make, it will also effect how your plane flying
