There is a reduction of thrust, and pretty soon gravity starts working, particularly if you are not setting on the runway.

The four forces acting on an aircraft in flight are lift, drag, thrust and weight (or gravity). With a loss of thrust, you are left primarily with gravity and drag, and, to the extent that you can continue your forward motion as in a controlled glide, you will still produce some lift. Good luck (and I mean that!)

The story goes that a SR-71 Spy plane was cruising at Mach 2+ at 60,000 Feet over Canada(or other remote location) and its engines flamed out. The pilot called to report the problem to his base. The Air Traffic Controller said he would vector him to the nearest airfield to land. The SR-71 Pilot replied, "That's okay. Just vector me back to Barksdale AFB, Louisana. I can coast in to there."

Star WarsI now laugh when I watch the X-Wing Fighters "fly" through space. In Space there is no need for Wings and the Ship does not have to point in the direction it is "flying". If the thruster engines failed ona space ship, it would have Momentum that would keep it flying forever until it travels within the gravitational field of a large planet or star.

May possible to fly an engine of wrankle instead of automobile engine?

What, flying a plane with a Wankel rotary engine instead of a piston engine? It's been done, but there are a lot of problems with it. One of the big ones is efficiency: a Wankel engine is 25 percent less efficient than a piston engine. It's also water-cooled, and that adds weight. You have to mess with the ignition system to get the redundant ignition system the FAA requires--they want you to have two completely separate ignitions in your plane so if one stops working the plane keeps running. Also, airplane engines are made to run at a constant speed, which car engines are not.
