Gravity is one of many forces that act upon an aircraft at ALL times. So naturally, gravity is what pulls the aircraft down when the pilot reduces the Thrust of the engines and the Lift of the wings.

Hydraulics help an airplanes landing gear by retracting it (raising it into the plane). Simple gravity is what pulls it down into place.

Does gravity affects the amount of lift on an airplanes lift?

Yes, gravity plays a significant role in the amount of lift generated by an airplane. Lift is the force that counters the weight of the aircraft due to gravity. The amount of lift needed to overcome gravity is directly related to the weight of the airplane.

What force pull an airplane towards the earth and is related to the mass of the airplane?

The force that pulls an airplane towards the Earth is gravity. Gravity is directly related to the mass of the airplane, meaning that the greater the mass of the airplane, the stronger the force of gravity pulling it towards the Earth.

What role does gravity play in propelling an airplane through the air?

There are four forces acting on an airplane when it is in the sky: lift, gravity, momentum and drag. The lift makes the plane go up, gravity acts against it. The momentum of the plane makes it go forward, drag makes it go slower. Thus, gravity doesn't really even have to do with moving the plane forward.
