Just assume your wings fall off. What is your fuselage going to do? It
will fall straight down after the short moment it looses its forward speed.

Now keep the wings attached. Switch off the engine. Where is the
fuselage going? It moves forward and keeps on moving forward. As the
fuselage has drag, why is it moving forward against the drag? Who is
pulling it?
Is the connecting bar between the two rear sockets under compression or
unter tension?
