This category lists multi-engine passenger airline accidents involving loss of all engines in flight and subsequent gliding flight. Causes of these rare situations have included fuel exhaustion or starvation, multiple bird strikes, volcanic ash, extreme weather and hijacking.
Airplane gliding occurs when all the engines of an aircraft shut down, but the wings are still functional and can be used for a controlled descent. This is a very rare condition in multi-engine airliners, [1] though it is the obvious result when a single-engine airplane experiences engine failure.

Gliding, for the purposes of this categorization, refers to the sport of flying a glider (also known as a sailplane). The main article for this category is Gliding . See also: Category:Unpowered aviation
The glider also had a new structural feature: A fixed, rear vertical rudder, which the brothers hoped would eliminate turning problems. However, the 1902 glider encountered trouble in crosswinds and steep banked turns, when it sometimes spiraled into the ground – a phenomenon the brothers called "well digging".
