How Do Fighter Jets Fly Upside-Down?

Quote:
Fighter jets are known for their supersonic speeds and impeccable maneuvers. One of the key distinctions of fighter jets is their ability to achieve and sustain an inverted flight. The wings must continue to generate lift even in the upside-down position. The design of the wings is such that they are symmetric and equally rounded at the top and bottom. Symmetric wings generate an equal amount of lift in the inverted position without losing speed or altitude.
