  1. there are more but heres the ones I can think of:

    parasol : -speed limitations and G limitations. +good for low speeds

    high mount: -G limits and metal fatigue (back in the days). +better ground visibility, allows aircraft to be closer to ground, keeps engines high above ground

    mid mount: -less space because wing cross spars will cross in middle of fuselage. + I don't know

    low mount: less ground visibility, engines are closer to ground, requires longer landing struts. +permits wings to be of dihedral type

    dihedral: type of wing. slanted upwards towards ends. enhances stability, is used on most airliners. Not very maneuverable

    inverted gull: can rip off during high Gs, limited speed. enhances stability at low speeds. high lifting capacity

    gull wings: requires long can rip off during high Gs, limited speed. enhances stability at low speeds, high lifting capacity.
