No, sperm use a small whip-like tail to travel through a liquid medium. Also not just any liquid medium, it must be rather viscous for optimal travel, like that found in semen. The tail would be useless in air.

How does sperm successfully fertilize an egg?

Sperm successfully fertilizes an egg by swimming through the female reproductive tract to reach the egg in the fallopian tube.

This fusion forms a zygote, which eventually develops into an embryo.
