Can someone explain to me why these planes just don't turn about their center of gravity?

Look at this one:

strange plane

The thrust force from the engine should generate some clockwise moment, right? Why won't it turn and just crash then? I guess the wings generate some sort of anti-clockwise moment? Can someone explain this?
