Not always, but that is one of the design aims.
Air resistance actually holds an airplane back. It must overcome that resistance to fly.
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.
The arrow opposite the direction of travel is the air resistance or drag.

Gravity and air resistance.
yes
The most aerodynamic shape to minimize air resistance is a teardrop shape.
Gravity is the main resistance force on any aircraft. Wind resistance would be second.
The size of air resistance force on an object depends on its size, shape, speed, and the air density. Larger objects experience greater air resistance due to their larger surface area coming into contact with the air. The shape of an object can also impact air resistance; streamlined shapes experience less air resistance than irregular shapes. For example, a skydiver falling with arms and legs outstretched will experience greater air resistance compared to when they assume a streamlined position.
When an airplane is flying, it experiences fluid friction with the air around it. This friction is caused by the resistance of the air to the movement of the airplane. The airplane's design and engine power are optimized to overcome this friction and maintain flight.
The streamlining shape.
A streamlined shape, such as a teardrop or an airfoil, is designed to reduce air resistance by minimizing drag. This shape allows air to flow smoothly around the object, reducing turbulence and friction with the air.
