In extreme circumstances it is possible if the aircraft had being traveling at a high speed to start with. There was one case where an American F-15e fighter plane was engaged in aerial combat and had sustained major damage to the airframe. it was only when the plane had landed that the pilot saw the whole right wing had been blown clean off and it was the speed at which he travelled before the engine failed (due to loss of fuel). The aircraft stayed in the air as the rest of the aircraft acted as a rocket.

What makes a plane ascend?
A plane ascends by increasing its engine thrust to generate more lift from its wings. As air flows over the wings, the shape and angle of the wings create a pressure difference which causes the plane to rise. The pilot can also adjust the plane's pitch angle to control the rate of ascent.
What makes the plane go up and down?
Planes control their altitude by changing the angle of the wings. To ascend, the pilot increases engine thrust to generate more lift. To descend, the pilot reduces engine power and adjusts the pitch of the aircraft to decrease lift.
Do wings help a plane fly?
Without wings a plane wont go. You do realize that this is an extremely dumb question.
Can a plane fly without wings?
While there have been some wingless "lifting body" experimental aircraft. All conventional airplanes get the the majority of their lift from their wings and cannot fly without them. No. By definition, A PLANE is a fixed-wing aircraft. The wings are absolutely necessary for lift.
What parts of a plane help it fly?
wings, propellers ,engine , gravity
You look in the mirror and see the glider pilot rocking his or her wings directly behind your tow plane. What is the signal?
Speed up
What causes airplanes to take off?
Lift is what ultimatly causes the plane to take off. When a plane get up to take off speed, that means the wings are generating enough lift to lift the plane up. The pilot will change the planes angle of attack with the elevators (located on the horizontal stabilizers) to the wind which forces engine thrust to push the plane into the air.
What is the most important part of the plane?
The most important part of the plane is the wings, as they provide lift and stability during flight. Without wings, the plane would not be able to generate the necessary lift to stay airborne.
Why wouldn't a plane be able to fly in space?
There is no air for the wings to work with, to control the plane. The engine also needs air to burn the fuel.
What will you call a plane that has two sets of wings?
You call a plane with two set of wings a Biplane.A plane with one set of wings is called a monoplane.A plane with three set of wings is called a triplane.
Why do aeroplanes need wings?
An aeroplane needs wings because it helps with the main part of a plane- take off. 1.The reason why is that there are ailerons at the back of a planes wings and these help with the roll or the way a plane is steered so if we didnt have wings we couldn't steer a plane.2. The way you steer a plane you have to use rudders and these rudders allow the plane to have yaw used by the pedals .Yaw is like if you were to jump up on a trampoline and spin ,hense the motion of yaw , also to do with steering and wings. the last thing is that a plane has to have a pitch which is the way a plane takes off and to have pitch the flaps connected to the AILERONS at the BACK OF THE PLANES WINGS must be usable By Samantha Dudley.

How did Orville and Wilbur Wright's airplane work?
The Wright brothers' airplane worked by generating lift from the wings as the plane moved forward through the air. The control system allowed the pilot to maneuver the plane using the elevator, rudder, and wing warping. The engine provided the necessary thrust for takeoff and sustained flight.
