Why does a plane fall out of the sky when it stops going forward?

Because the wings cannot produce lift unless they have air flowing over them.
That being said, airplanes rarely fall out of the sky for this reason. As soon as the wings stop producing lift (this is called a stall) the aircraft will inevitably fall a little bit, in the process building speed and in a short while the wing is flying again.

Does a rider fall forward when his horse stops suddenly?
True ... it's called inertia.
Why do you tend to fall backwards when a plane takes off?
The forward momentum forces you back.
A seat belt helps you when your car stops suddenly by providing?
The seat belt makes an balance forward force because when the car stops you fall forward and the seat belt makes it so the force in your body stays balanced. So it becomes an balanced forward force.
What stops the water in oceans from falling out?
Just where do you suppose it is going to fall out to ? I guess your answer is gravity.
Is it bad to have mirror in front of stairs?
It depends, do you fall down the stairs a lot? (if downward-forward) Do you run into walls consistently after going up? (if upward-forward)
Why do you fall farward in the car when the car stops?
It is the law of inertia bringing you forward while the car stops, the law of inertia states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
If you fall back in longjump is your jump measured from the furthest back point?
Yes, if you fall back the, furthest back point is where your jumped will be measured from, so, if your going to fall at all, fall forward. Then it will be measured from your feet.
Can a plane stop in mid air?
if a plane stopped in mid air it would just fall and probely not because it would be going to fast for it to fast to just stop!

How do you know that the plane isn't going to fall?
It's very rare for planes to fall out of the sky, but it does happen. It's understandable to be afraid of flying but it's safer than driving.
How do you make a rubber powered airplane fly?
Rubber powered airplanes fall into three types.The first is to use a rubber band as a sling attached to the front of the plane. When stretched and released the contracting band moves the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.The second rubber band powered plane uses a twisted band attached to the propeller. the realising torsional energy as it unwinds turns the propelled and pulls the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.As an alternate, a mixture of rubber powder and oxidant can be used in a rocket engine to thrust the plane forward.
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.
