This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Thrust (how it moves forward). One is the upper wing surfaces curvature compared to the lower surface, called wing camber. That force is called thrust. Thrust relies on Newtons Third Law as well.

That being said, evidence suggests the Boeing 787 suffered either a loss of thrust in both engines, or an inadvertent retraction of the plane’s flaps and slats before reaching sufficient speed. The loss of thrust theory is evidenced a few different ways. All they could do was glide straight ahead.
