They don't defy gravity. Gravitational attraction affects planes just like anything else. The wings of an aircraft generate lift which when the plane is going fast enough is a stronger force than the gravitational attraction of the earth. To do this the wings split the air flow going over it into an upper and lower part. Because the wing is curved it forces the air to travel further when it flows over the wing than when it flows under. The molecules of the air in the upper part are therefore slightly separated out from each other which creates a small vacuum effect. The wing rises to fill this vacuum pulling the aircraft up with it.

Can an athelete defy gravity during a jump?
Technically speaking, there is no realistic way to "defy" gravity. Gravity is a universal and inevitable force that acts upon all objects at all times at an equal rate. However, there are ways to change the conditions under which you are influenced by gravity in order to minimize its effects. In the case of an athlete, it is a matter of man (or woman) vs. gravity, with no technological aide. The only controllable variables are speed, strength, and position. Common sense would tell you that the more momentum and force you have going into a jump, the farther or higher you are going to go. Also, the more area faced with resistance, the longer it will take to touch back down. Of course, in a human jump, we're speaking in terms of miliseconds... Basically, the answer is no, no living or nonliving thing withing the confines of the Earth can truly defy the great and inevitable force of gravity.
