Well there were many trial to make an aeroplane which can hover. Although some aeroplanes can hover for short durations but unfortunately we are still unable to make an aeroplane hover with much efficiency. the examples of few hovering capable aeroplanes are Lockheed Martin F-35 and V-22.
However, by far the most well known and successful is the British Harrier Jump Jet. It went into service in 1966 although the Hawker P1127 was a predecessor that flew in 1960. The Harrier uses thrust vectoring to allow vertical take off and landing as well as hovering at any speed and can even move backwards.

Can airplanes stop in air?
An airplane can have zero ground speed if the wind is going faster then the stall speed of the plane. Some planes made for the military also have thrust vectoring that is capable of allowing the plane to hover.
Is there any variety of aeroplane which can fly without running on airstrip?
There are only few planes which can hover efficiently. In that only jet fighters have the ability to hover. The Osprey used by the US Marine Corps is a transport plane which can hover. I saw one of them hovering at Fort Rucker, AL, in 2008. It is tricky and dangerous to fly, but it needs no airstrip for taking off and landing.
