If an airplanes engines fail in flight, the plane can glide for a distance ( depending on it's altitude ), but gravity will eventually bring it down.
While most manned airplanes have engines,
there are a variety of airplanes that are designed to fly without an engine:
sailplane, hang glider, paraglider.
Such aircraft can theoretically stay aloft indefinitely in several ways:
* towed by a ground vehicle or a powered aircraft
* tethered to the ground, with wind (like a kite)
* taking advantage of updrafts and ridge lift to gain altitude
What else can I help you with?
How will a paper airplane fly without wings?
A paper airplane cannot fly without a wing.
Can an airplane fly with one wing and a propeller?
No, an airplane requires both wings to provide lift and stability. Additionally, the propeller is powered by the engine, which would likely be on the missing wing. Without both wings and the engine, the airplane would not be able to maintain controlled flight.
Is the flight of aircraft made possible by engine and wings?
They are an important part of the aircraft that makes it fly. There are many other parts without which the airplane cannot fly.
How airplane fly in air?
engine lets airoplane fly in air and airoplane also fly with its wings
What is the purpose of engine in aircraft?
To make the airplane move and fly.
How do you fly without a machine?
there is no way to fly without a machine like a airplane or a helicopter even a jetpack
Why can't a airplane fly without a propeller?
B
How can you fly without a airplane?
a helicopter Additional answer That depends on what you mean by airplane. Some people might argue that a helicopter IS an airplane
Who was the first to fly in an engine-powered plane?
Orville Wright was the first to fly a engine-powered airplane. He flew a small bi-plane and flew for a few minutes. He and his brother Wilbur Wright developed this airplane.
How long can a commercial airplane fly without refueling?
22 hours
Can the Boeing 777 fly on one engine?
The Boeing 777 is a two engine jet airplane. If one engine fails and the other engine is still working, yes it can still fly with one engine.
What is the name of an aircraft with floats or skis for landing?
A plane with floats is a "floatplane" or a "seaplane." A plane with skis is a "skiplane." Check it out: you need a special license to fly a seaplane! If you have a single-engine Piper and land it at airports, the minimum license is ASEL--airplane, single engine, land. You could also fly it with an AMEL--airplane, multiengine, land. But to fly a seaplane you need an ASES or AMES--airplane, single engine, sea or airplane, multiengine, sea.
