It needs an engine to move it forward so that the wings generate lift. While stationary the wings generate no lift, or at least not enough to lift the plane off of the ground.

How do rubber band powered model airplanes fly in the air?

Rubber band powered model airplanes fly by converting the potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band into kinetic energy, propelling the plane forward. As the rubber band unwinds, it turns a propeller, generating thrust that pushes the airplane through the air. The wings create lift as the plane moves forward, allowing it to stay aloft.
