Aeroplanes can often glide to safety after loss of engine power. All aerplanes have a lift/drag ratio and this determines how far they can travel with no power before landing. If the lift/drag ration is 10:1 (for example) then the aeroplane can travel 1000 feet horizonatally for every 100 feet that is lost vertically. Weather conditions, weight and aircraft configuration can all affect the lift/drag ratio so if you do lose engine power, don't hang abuot before finding a suitable place to land!
