This is why I prefer small planes to huge jets. Smaller planes are more likely to become gliders if the engines break, larger ones are more likely to just become stones.
The glide ratio of a Cessna 172 is about 9:1, video is from a T210N Centurion II, a similarly sized but heavier plane, so its gliding capabilities are worse.
The glide ratio of an Airbus A320 is 17:1.
A huge Airbus is much better at gliding than a small Cessna.

Which is better at barrel rolls?
