Yes, wing shape is important for several reasons: If the shape is wrong, then the air flow will peel loose from the wing's upper surface. If this happens, then the air flow becomes turbulent, and the wing can no longer deflect the air. This is called "STALL." So the shape of the wing is important in preventing stall. If a wing was flat like a board, it would work fine as long as it wasn't tilted. If tilted, the air flow peels loose from the leading edge, and Stall is created. But it MUST be tilted in order to create lift. The solution is simple: make the leading edge round, and the trailing edge sharp. An airfoil must be shaped like a streamlined teardrop. That way it can be tilted, and the air still flows smoothly around the leading edge. Stall is prevented.
To deflect air and provide lift, the trailing edge of the wing must tilt down. We could tilt the whole wing. But if the wing angle is too steep, the air flow will not follow the wing surface. The wing will "stall." But when flying slowly, less air gets deflected, so the wing must be tilted more. Doesn't this mean that large heavy airplanes can't fly? Would their wings tilt too much, then stall? No, because wings can have an arch shape or cup shape. If a wing is humped up in the center, then it will smoothly deflect air, and stalls are prevented. This shape is called "airfoil camber." A heavy slow plane needs a highly cambered wing. A fast small plane needs a wing which is almost flat.
The side view of airplane wings looks like a bent teardrop shape, with a round front and a sharp back. WARNING: some people will tell you that a wing must be curved on top and flat on the bottom. This is wrong. The curves don't matter at all. Instead, the front edge of a wing must be round, and the wing must be cambered (curved.) Some high-lift wings are so cambered that the bottom is not flat at all, instead it arches inwards.
In the physical sciences 'plane' can regard two definitions based on context. A plane can be a surface for which action takes place, such as the motion of bodies on each other. Plane can also refer to aircraft and the phenomena of generating lift and flight through the wing surfaces (which are also planes).
Bernoulli's Principal is as the speed of a fluid (liquid or gad) increases the pressure of the fluid decreases. The shape of an airplane wing causes the air to move faster over the top of the wing, thus lifting the wing up.

Generally speaking, one wing of a "normal" butterfly is the same as the other, only it appears as the "reverse" or "reflection" of the first wing. That makes the shape symmetrical, and in that light, yes, a butterfly with its wings spread is a symmetrical shape.
It changes the profile of the wing and so changes the lift. If the same change is applied to both wings the plane will gain or lose height. If opposite changes are applied, one wing will drop, the other will rise and the plane will turn.
Yes. Wing shape affects flight. If the wing is more aerodynamic then a plane can fly more faster.
Yes the shape of an airplane wing will affect the flight. Angles and shapes will always be a huge factor.
The length of a wing will affect the flight motion. The shape of the wing is also another factor that affects the speed of the flight.
The upward force acting on the wing of a plane in flight is called lift. It is generated by the air flowing over and under the wing due to the shape of the wing and the angle of attack. Lift is essential for keeping the plane aloft and counteracting the force of gravity.
The shape of an airplane's wing is called the airfoil; this helps the plane to fly easily while in flight.
An airplane's fuselage affects it flight by a lot. It can change its speed, maneuverability, angle of attack, and even its necessary-for-flight wing size.
The shape of the cross section of the wing is called an aerofoil. and the actual panel shape of the wing depends on the job the plane needs to do. if the plane needs to be supersonic the wings wont be straight but swept, trapezoidal or a similar shape.
The wing shape of an airplane, particularly its airfoil profile, affects its ability to generate lift. A curved or cambered wing shape helps generate more lift, allowing the airplane to carry more weight. Additionally, the wing design influences the distribution and efficiency of lift across the wingspan.
Yes, for example the tail shape or the wing shape.
Bernoulli's principal is used on the wings of a plane. The wing of a plane is shaped in a certain way that the air that flows over the top of the wing takes longer to reach the back of the wing than the air that flows under the wing. This air flow creates a pressure drop. This helps the wing get "lift." Take a look at the cross-sectional area of a plane's wing and you will see a shape that makes air flow the way I described it.
