Is a pilot licence needed for ground effect or Wing In Ground craft?
no, because it is no airplane nor vehicle.
What does surface effect action with reference to Wing-In-ground craft means?
hippo
What is a wing in ground craft?
Is a multimodal craft which, when in its main operational mode, flies in close proximity to the surface by utilising surface effect action
Why paper airplane fly?
The forward motion (when you throw it) and the design of the craft - creates lift under the wing. As the forward motion slows, the aircraft falls to the ground.
What was the first craft to lift off the ground?
First craft was An340
How far is it from 747 aircraft wing to ground?
The distance from the tip of the 747 wing to ground is 6.8m / 22.31 ft
What is an unpowered fixed-wing heavier-than-air craft called?
Glider
What is a good wingspan to height ratio for a plane?
The wing span of the plan has nothing to do with the height of the air craft, it is more in line with weight and length than the height and even then it is mostly has to do with the weight. You see in order to get into the air you need what is called lift. Lift is obtain by passing wind over the wings causing the craft to literally lift of the ground, when you take gravity and the weight of the craft into consideration then you can start looking at the wing span. Now that being said you also must take thrust into consideration. Since you can lift a lot of weight off the ground with smaller wing span if you have enough thrust pushing you forward creating enough wind over/under the wings causing lift. There is still much more answer to this question of wing span but in a nut shell that's it.
Who invented the airplane wing?
It would be said that the Wright Brother invented the airplane wing. They were the first to fly a heavier than air craft.
What is a trailing edge?
A Craft Edge of a Wing. Air however passes over this portion of airfoil
What is trailing edge?

What does wing shape mean?
Wing shape means the shape of the wings, of which there are three main types. Straight, Swept-back and Delta. Straight wings are plain straight, and are stable, however, less aerodynamic. The Cessna Skywhawk is a good example. Swept-back is used on faster craft but sub-sonic and are used on craft such as the Boeing 737. The Delta wing is used for craft that fly above Mach 1, such as the Concorde or Space Shuttle.
