to a certain degree yes but it may probably go into stall. A glide is when an aircraft or object travels horizontally while dropping vertically. If it doesn't glide, then it drops vertically---i.e. a rock. If it can travel horizontally the same distance as the distance it falls, this is referred to as a 1:1 (one-to-one) glide slope. Many aircraft can not do this and will drop faster than they fly forward.
