Would that change the position of the maximum camber? I understand that airliners want fuel efficiency more than anything. I have to justify the selection of certain wing designs - I've done light aircraft (Cessna 150) with a better stall characteristics.
172s have a slight dihedral, 150s and 152s don't (unless if you want to count the 1 degree that the factory says it has). The "break" during excessive pitch power-on stalls on a 150 or 152 are a lot more severe than in a 172.I've flown 172's and 152's - and I thought I remember them both having SLIGHT dihedrals. Never flown the 150, but I thought the design looked very similar in most respects.

Basically the 152 is a 150 with a more powerful engine (a whopping 10 horse more) the landing light in the nose and the cowling has dzus fasteners for easier maintenance.
