Commercial airplanes carry extra fuel and possess robust safety features. Aircraft wings generate lift, allowing glides even without engine power. Pilots train for engine failure and utilize backup systems like the Ram Air Turbine. Past incidents show successful emergency landings after losing engine power. These safety measures ensure passenger well-being during rare fuel exhaustion events.
