No. The forward motion creates the lift that keeps it in the air. Even when all engines are shut down, momentum keeps a plane moving forward. As the momentum decreases, the plane begins to descend; forward motion eventually changes to downward motion. Even a passenger jet that explodes or has been hit by a missile keeps moving, that is the pieces keep moving. I will only stop moving when it, or the pieces hit the ground (or is purposely parked at an appropriate place).
