Yes, it can.
It is highly unlikely for a tornado to pick up an airplane due to its heavy weight and design. Airplanes are built to withstand strong winds and turbulence, and they are not easily lifted off the ground by tornadoes.
It depends on the strength of the tornado. Weak tornadoes will lift up light objects such as small tree branches. Strong tornadoes have been known to lift up cars, trees, roofs, barns, and sometimes people and animals. Violent tornadoes have been known to lift up and throw heavy construction equipment, well constructed houses, and sometimes larger structures.
The force that pushes an airplane wing up is called lift. Lift is generated by the difference in air pressure above and below the wing, created by the wing's shape and angle of attack. This force allows the airplane to overcome gravity and stay airborne.
Lift is the aerodynamic force that pushes the airplane upwards, opposing the force of gravity. It is generated by the wings of the airplane as they move through the air and create a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. This lift allows the airplane to stay airborne and maneuver in the sky.
The force that counteracts the weight of an airplane is called lift. Lift is generated by the wings of the airplane as it moves through the air. The amount of lift produced needs to be equal to or greater than the weight of the airplane to keep it in the air.

If the tornado is strong enough, yes. It would normally take at least an EF2 tornado to lift a truck.
lift
No. An EF1 tornado can lift a poorly secured roof, but not much more than that.
It depends on the intensity of the tornado and the size of the plane. As an example, depending on the design, a Boeing-737 weighs about 30 to 50 tons empty and about 55 to 95 tons fully loaded. Based on records of large objects being moved, a strong enough tornado, almost certainly an EF5, could lift a plane at the lower end of this range. Smaller airliners could probably be lifted in that case as well. A violent tornado, however, would place an enormous amount of shearing stress on a plane, something planes are generally not designed to withstand. So, a commercial airplane struck by such a strong tornado would likely be torn apart rather than lifted as a whole.

An EF0 tornado can't pick up much of anything, so probably not.
Lift keeps an aircraft up, thrust pushes it forward.
I am going to assume that aeroplane=airplane when I answer this. An airplane stays in the air by generating lift on its wings. As long as an airplane can generate sufficent lift it can stay in the air. However once the lift being generated falls below what is required for the plane to stay up... uh oh.
Yes, a strong enough tornado could lift a tractor trailer. It would probably take a a strong EF2 or EF3 to do so.
No. An EF0 tornado can't lift much more than roof tiles and small tree branches.
