    Flat bottom is for small aircraft, usually props that can perform STOL operations. Semi-symmetric is good for airliners and earlier fighter aircraft up until around the late 1950s, and symmetric is good for aerobatic aircraft and supersonic fighters

    I recommend semi symmetric for small airliners etc
    I recommend symmetric for combat planes
    I recommend flat bottom if you want to stall idk really i havent used flat bottom
