No, the plane has to be moving. The wings generate lift, and the engine creates speed.
But it could also be Yes if by the word "moving" you mean relative to the ground or ground speed. A plane needs airflow over the wing to fly. However, if the aircraft can fly into the wind such that the wind speed equals the speed of the air flow over the wing then the plane will be flying but it will not be "moving".
For Example: suppose you have a light-weight airplane that lands at 45 Knots. Then on a certain day the wind is blowing at 45 knots along the runway. The pilot lines up the airplane into the wind. The relative speed of the air over the wing will be 45 Knots but the ground speed will be Zero (0).

Can a plane stand in air?
Helicopters and some STOL aircraft can stand still in the air. If an actual winged aircraft does this it will 'stall' because air pressure is not moving over the wings.

Can planes fly without air?
No... planes stay airborne because the air flowing on the underside of the wing is moving faster than the air flowing over the top of the wing. Without air movements - the plane cannot fly.
Why can't the fuel filter be removed without moving the air shutter assembly?
because the shutter interferes with the filter's plane or rotation
Can air planes fly?
No... planes stay airborne because the air flowing on the underside of the wing is moving faster than the air flowing over the top of the wing. Without air movements - the plane cannot fly.
A man jumped out of a plane without a parachute how did he survive?
The plane was on the ground, not flying in the air.
Give an example of fluid friction?
A plane moving through air. Air is causing friction, A boat moving through water .Water causes friction.
Is the air that travels under the plane's wing is moving faster?
No. The air that travels over the wing moves faster.
What is the force you exert on an airplane as it is flying in the air?
Weight. Also, the moving air around the plane causes friction
Can passenger jet stand still in air?
No. The forward motion creates the lift that keeps it in the air. Even when all engines are shut down, momentum keeps a plane moving forward. As the momentum decreases, the plane begins to descend; forward motion eventually changes to downward motion. Even a passenger jet that explodes or has been hit by a missile keeps moving, that is the pieces keep moving. I will only stop moving when it, or the pieces hit the ground (or is purposely parked at an appropriate place).
How aircraft fly?
Aircraft fly based on the principal of lift. Lift is the force that pushes a plane up. A wing is curved, which means the air flowing over the top of the wing is moving slower than the air moving under the wing. This faster moving air pushes up on the wing and the plane, making it fly.
