What about the memory items for severe damage?

How does the plane not just fall out of the sky??

Alright, so first of all this video is from Mentor Pilot, stolen and uploaded to this channel I assumed, I'd recommend checking him out to learn more about flying. Basically, airplanes don't fall out of the sky when they have no thrust because the lift of an airplane is produced by the wings. How much lift a wing produces depends mostly on the shape of a wing, the velocity of the airplane and the density of the air (as well as the angle of the wings). Airplanes have immense lift to drag weight ratios such as 15:1, meaning the airplane generates 15 times more lift than ot does produce drag. This means that airplanes have very high glide ratios, which are ratios that indicate how much altitude can be traded off for horizontal distance, for example, the 787 has a glide ratio of 20:1, meaning that for each kilometer of altitude of height it has, if will travel 20km horizontally.

Bro definitely failed physics

@@anibal5824 tldr it works like a paper airplane. The speed the aircraft has allows it to glide
