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.

What is the best wing shape for a airplane?
The best wing shape for sn airplane is like a triangle because it fly straight
Does the shape of a airplane wing affect the flight?
Yes the shape of an airplane wing will affect the flight. Angles and shapes will always be a huge factor.
Does the shape of an airplane wing matter?
Yes because an airplane wing has to cut through wind and create loft and lift.
WHAT describes the structure of an airplane wing?
It is aerofoil that describes the structure (shape) of the aeroplane wing
How does the shape of the wing of an airplane affect the distance a plane travels?
The shape of the wing affects every flying characteristic of the aircraft. A long, thin wing will help it fly further.
Why is an airplane wing shaped the way it is?
This shape gives the airplanes the ability to have more lift than any other shape.
How airplane moves in air?
The shape of the wing and the forward speed generates lift and the aircraft rises.
Why does a wing lift an airplane off the ground?
cause the shape of is slightly curved up and the jest do the rest
What provides the lift to keep a Frisbee in flight?
If you look at the shape of a Frisbee strait on it has the same shape as an airplane wing. It works on the same principle.
What are airplane wings shaped like?
Airplane wings are shaped like a bird's wing. They are thick at the front and thin at the back. This form of shape is more aerodynamic.
How does the wing shape on an airplane affect its ability to hold weight?
It can affect the lift that carries the plane through the air.
How is a propeller like an airplane wing?
A propeller is almost exactly similar to an airplane wing. A propeller has the same general shape as a wing, but it is slightly distorted to obtain maximum efficiency. Also, like a wing, many propellers change shape to perform better in different areas (eg takeoff, climb, fuel efficiency, etc.). The only two major differences are 1. the size and 2. propellers spin.
