What makes an aircraft to stay in the air when all engines fails?

Lift on an airplanes wing is what makes it stay in the air. Of course, lift diminishes the slower you go so eventually the plane will lose lift and begin to fall.

What makes aircrafts to fly hundreds of feet above ground and not be atracted by gravitational force and loose altitude?
Aircraft fly and stay in the air because the force of gravity is balanced by the force of lift created by the wings as air rushes over them, and because the force of air friction is balanced by the force of thrust created by the engines.
Can a jet airliner stand still in mid air?
No. Aircraft need an air stream passing over the wings to maintain lift for it to stay up. The only aircraft of a jet type that could do this was the Harrrier Jump Jet which could turn its engines through 90 degrees to basically hover.
Why does Honda make such good engines?
Honda makes good, quality engines because they use high grade components, hire experienced workers, and follow strict guidelines. This allows them to stay at the forefront of engine manufacturing and sales.
How dangerous are planes?
Well, planes are very dangerous depending on how you fly but the most important part is the engines. The engines of the plane are extremely dangerous because they are really powerful enough to suck your whole body in. This means that these airplane engines can really kill you. The most important is to always stay away from the engines of the aircraft(airplane) while they are running. These engines are so powerful that the aircraft can really fly. Planes can be even more dangerous if you don't try to be careful. During flights, you must never get close to emergency doors, never put items on or near emergency doors and never ever open emergency doors while the aircraft is in the air. One more thing you need to know! Never ever sit on emergency doors during flights. Airplanes can and will become even more dangerous than they really are if you don't follow the safety rules.
What are plurals that stay the same?

How do aircraft propellers keep the aircraft airborne?
For an aircraft to stay aloft, the an air current has to move over the wings in a specific way. The propellers generate the air current and direct it in the proper way to keep the aircraft airborne.
Can an airplane fly without an engine?
If an airplanes engines fail in flight, the plane can glide for a distance ( depending on it's altitude ), but gravity will eventually bring it down.While most manned airplanes have engines,there are a variety of airplanes that are designed to fly without an engine:sailplane, hang glider, paraglider.Such aircraft can theoretically stay aloft indefinitely in several ways:* towed by a ground vehicle or a powered aircraft* tethered to the ground, with wind (like a kite)* taking advantage of updrafts and ridge lift to gain altitude
What makes a plane an ultralight?
An ultralight has to stay under a certain weight limit and a certain maximum speed limit. It must also have an airfoil (wing) which is tilted to control the aircraft. It must have the propeller in the back.
How long can a commercial aircraft stay in the air at one time?
Depends on the amount of gas.
What makes hairspray stay in your hair?
Not washing it out because if oily already so adding more oils makes it stay.
Is it possible to stop an aircraft in the air?
Stopping an aircraft in the air is not something we can normally do. An aircraft must move in air to create lift across its wings to stay aloft. There are some exceptions to the rule, like rotocraft (often called helicopters) and a few other aircraft. But it is the effect of the wing moving through the air that keeps "regular" aircraft flying.
What causes a motor to not shut down when you turn the keys off?
It depends on the engine. A diesel engine will stay running until the fuel source is removed. Gasoline engines need the fuel and spark to stay running. If the engine fails to cut off it could be an electrical problem, mechanical problem, or your may have accidently put diesel fuel in your unleaded only vehicle. I would need more details to answer this better.
