Yes, it is possible for an airplane to stand still, or even go backwards, while flying. The easiest method to do so is to fly in winds higher then what the plane needs to stay aloft in. For example, a plane with a stall speed of 70 mph could climb to an altitude that has a 70 mph wind and have 0 mph ground speed.
Personally, I would not wish to be that pilot as turning the plane or basic manuvering could be problematic. The ride would hardly be smooth.

A flight can stay air with out moving?
No... a flight cant stay in air without moving..even for a second....but some of the fighters and helicopters can stay in air for minutes or hours..
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.

Do air molecules stay in one place or are they moving?
They move.
Why do airplanes fly straight?
Airplanes need to fly forward in order to stay in the air. They need air passing over the wings in order to stay in flight. Without air passing over the wing, bernoulli's principle can't take effect and the airplane would fall.
What is drag in the properties of flight?
The resistance caused by the aircraft moving through air
When moving into forward flight translational lift is produced by?
Air moving over the rotor disk, much like an airplane wing.
Can there be sound without atmoshpere?
without the atmosphere the will stay on earth and without air there is no sound
Can flight stay in air?
The staying in air is called hovering.It can be done only by some fighter jets, birds and owls.
What needs moving air to work besides the windmill?
some toilets use air power to flush.A2. Most aircraft need moving air to stay aloft. They move relative to the air, which in mechanics, is the same thing.
How does a kite stay in the air?
kites stay in the air they follow the air around the same things with bollons if they are let go they would fly away > moving air (wind ) is required, the angle of the kite gives vertical force to the kite, opposing gravity.
How does flight happen?
Flight occurs due to the principal of lift being generated under a wing. As a wing moves through the air and its velocity increases differences in air pressure are generated. Below the wing the air is moving slower, creating high air pressure pushing the wing up; lift. Above the wing is opposite, slow air, and low pressure. These differences create for flight.
