No, not really. The closer you can get to that is with a Vtol aeroplane (like the harrier) which can stand like a helicopter on engine power alone (without lift from the wings). However, these are few, and can't usually remain like that for long. As an example, the harrier can only remain hovering for one and a half minute, as in that position the engine refrigeration is assured by water cooling (as there is no airflow) and the water tanks only carry enough water for that time period.

Why aeroplanes and cars have streamline shape?
Aeroplanes and cars have a streamlined shape because it reduces the amount of air drag / air resistance, thus allowing less amounts of energy to be wasted. For example, it cars were to be designed like trucks, this would increase friction, slowing the object down. Take the example of sports cars. They are streamlined so that when it flows through the air, the car can travel smoothly, not clumsly-like movements. Trying experimenting this with a parachute and you'll see why.
Why do volcanoes stop aeroplanes from flying?

Where aeroplanes park?
Aeroplanes have a special place to park. It's called aircraft hanger. It is usually situated in an airport...be it public or private. The hanger is just like your garage...but a lot bigger in size. We have to pay a lot to keep our private plane in the hanger.. But it's the most covineant way to park an airplane as its so near the runway.
