How does a airplane maintain straight and level during flight?
The way an aircraft maintains straight and level flight is by the use of the trim tabs on the wings, tail, and horizontal stabilizer adjusted be the pilot in the cockpit. The use of ailerons, rudder and the horizontal stabilizer can also be used if needed. Also, you must have the correct airspeed or you will stall the aircraft(it doesn't have enough or too much air flow over the wings therefore causing the aircraft to fall).
What Parts of an airplane which provide lift and support entire weight of airplane?
The wings are the primary source of lift for an airplane. The horizontal stabilizer of most modern transport aircraft produces lift also, but the lift vector of the stabilizer is usually in the opposite direction (down) in order to keep the aircraft at the proper pitch attitude. Some aircraft configurations are designed so that the aircraft body itself provides lift. The Space Shuttle is an example of a "lifting body" aircraft.
