That All Depends On What Type Of Aircraft, A Large Airliner E.G 747, 757, A380 , A340 ect Would Not Just Fall From The Sky, In fact These Aircraft Can Keep On Gliding (Without Engines) For A very Long Time. Although A light Aircraft E.G. Grob, Cessna ect Would Also Glide, But Not For Long! After Loosing Speed From The Lack Of Engines The Aircraft Would Simply Pitch Down (Point Towards Ground).

Does every passenger plane have parachutes?

no, unfortuanaltley there would be no point, if a planr was to crash or fall from the sky, it would be inpossible for you get out of your seat open the door of the plane and jump out, the forsce of plane falling would make it impossible to move about the aircraft, and if you mannaged to get the door open the forse of the pressure would cause everything and everyonr to be sucked out of the aircraft, then there is the worry of the engines, but you have nothing to worry about, avaiation is the safest form of transport and it yoou would have to fly every day for 1 million years to be at cabce of a plane crash!!

Well, The plane probably would fall and spin uncontrolably.The only way to stop the plane is if a giant arm reached up and grabed the plane and set it down on the ground which is impossible so everyone on the plane would probably die.


How does an incline plane increase force?

gravity pulls it. if you had a ball on a horizontal surface it wouldn't fall. there would be no where TO fall. if you just dropped it the ball would fall to the ground/floor really fast. an inclined plane just lowers the speed of a fall. but it rolls down the ramp like everything else. when its at the top of the plane, just before you let go, it has potential energy. when you let go, on it's way down it becomes kinetic.


Why doesn't the plane fall from the sky?

The plane doesn't fall from the sky because its lifting force lifts it in the air.
