Actually, aircraft could fall on the ground if it's stalling (losing speed). The reason why their aren't any airplanes fall on the ground now is because most of the airplanes could warn the pilots if the aircraft is stalling and so the pilots will know they have to increase the speed.

Because it's forward speed gives it lift. If it's speed drops below a certain level it will stall and fall to the ground.

Why doesnot aircraft fall on the ground?

because of the thrust produced by the engines of the aircraft which is about 15,000 tonnes for each engine in a jumbo jet. Which means that each engine has a capacity to lift a weight of about 15,000 tonnes without any difficulty.

How would a plane fall if its engines failed?

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).


What is groundspeed of the aircraft?

Ground speed is the speed the aircraft has compared to the ground. This is usually different from air speed, which is the aircraft's speed compared to the surrounding air. Thus an aircraft with 400 kph air speed and 50 kph headwind has a ground speed of 350 kph. For fun: with light aircraft with very low stall speeds it's possible to fly backwards (compared to the ground) if they fly into a headwind that's stronger than their lowest stall speed. I.e. their ground speed is negative.

The term "aircraft hanger" refers to a building in which aircraft are parked. They are not actually hanged, despite being in a hanger. They remain on the ground.
