Can an Airplane Stand Still in the Air?
azkbn26004gmailcom:
an airplane cannot stand still in the air as it requires air flow over the wings to create lift. An airplane can be stationary over the ground if the air is moving over the ground quickly enough.

Answer:
An airplane cannot stand still in the air. This is a rule outlined by the laws of physics. Everything is always falling, but an aircraft can appear to stand still in the air by stabilizing its altitude. A helicopter, for example, appears to stand still in the air as its propeller pulls the aircraft up at the same rate gravity pulls it down. An airplane, too, can appear to stand still if there is a strong headwind coming towards it that keeps it in place.
