We cannot see the shadow of an airplane flying high in the sky because the altitude is too great for the shadow to be cast clearly on the ground. The sunlight is typically too diffuse at that height, and the shadow is often too small and faint to be noticeable. Additionally, the ground beneath the airplane is vast and uneven, making it difficult for the shadow to appear distinct. Lastly, atmospheric conditions and obstacles on the ground can further obscure any potential shadow.

What happens when an airplane cannot continue to go in a vertical direction?

Not quite sure what you're looking for here, but generally, when an airplane stops going up...the houses get bigger. If you mean the airplane is flying with its nose pointed almost vertical----then most aircraft will eventually lose its speed and stall. Only a few exceptional aircraft have enough power to continue flying vertically. However, if you think about it, even they will fly so high that there will not be enough atmosphere and the engines will flame-out and he will fall.
