Gravity and drag are forces that an aircraft must continuously overcome in order to climb and maintain altitude. Without adequate thrust, they are the default operational forces operating on an aircraft. Those forces are always present. A pilot at altitude is able to use them to advantage by simply pulling out the throttle, which lowers the engine's output/thrust and lowers the lift of the wings. With insufficient thrust to create sufficient lift to overcome gravity and drag, the pilot then watches the aircraft descend to a lower, more desirable altitude. Some highspeed jets use airbrakes and dragchutes which add to the plane's drag and slow it down once it has landed.
It will use its engine power to increase thrust and to decrease drag.

Drag slows the forward movement of aircraft.
Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..
The drag of an airplane is the air resistance caused by the plane flying through air. Similar to when you pull your hand through water and feel resistance.
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.

Aircraft design reduces drag, but cannot prevent it. Aerodynamics is the study of such.
