All aircraft are affected by gravity; so is everything else. The aircraft are able to fly because the force of the lift generated by the airflow over the wings is balanced by the weight of the airplane.

Earth's gravitational force will have the greatest effect on an airplane?

The gravitational force between the Earth and an airplane is greatest when the airplane is at the minimum possible altitude. Its effect on the airplane depends on how the gravitational force is related to the total system of forces on the aircraft, that is, what other forces are acting on it at the same time, whether it's climbing, diving, standing still on level ground, standing on sloped ground in a wind, etc.

Why does a black hole have tremendous gravitational pull even when its mass is the same as that of the parent star?

It has such a great gravitational pull because of the center(called the singularity) has such a high density that if a airplane where to go through it and come back out it would be the same size as a marble and be the same weight. Therefore black holes have a huge gravitational pull.


What are the forces on a airplane when it is still?

When an airplane is still on the ground, the main forces acting on it are the gravitational force acting downwards and the normal force exerted by the ground acting upwards to support the weight of the airplane. There are typically no aerodynamic forces acting on the airplane until it starts moving.
