Maybe with lighter aircraft, but in a lot of passenger planes you won't just glide nicely. You'll have to dive and pull up slightly to try to not stall the aircraft but even then your rate of descent would be too fast and the approach angle for the ground too steep land in one piece.   even a 747 has an approx stall speed of 120 on landing, whereas landing speeds are 150-160. using a combination between flaps and air brakes it would be possible to land without power.....difficult but possible. most pilots would come in at a slightly low angle but too fast then use air brakes to control speed. Considering that flaps are normally not on during flight, if the power ran out how would you propose that the flaps would be extended to full?    Without power nothing would work considering all the hydraulics, etc, are still computer controlled in the end. sorry, when i said no power, i meant no power from teh engines, not no electricity, the secnreo is that the aircraft is low on fuel, without electricity how to land is teh least of yoru problems. Oh, well that does change things then. I thought the plane had no power at all.

They don't run on gasoline. They run on kerosene. which is why if an airplane was low on gas it wouldn't really matter, would it? This game is flawed, yet we all lost. babygurl 2008 Posted at 5:33 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 LMAO SLe3piinBeAuTii Posted at 5:26 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 light u on fire marshmellowman Posted at 5:24 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from ManicD at 1:15 am on Aug. 29, 2008 Aeroplanes dont need fuel to land, the design of the wings mean that by sacrificing altitude for speed you can maintain fly and land teh aircraft safely, even without power Not necessarily.
