True.
Yes, but the net force is ZERO! If an object is moving at constant velocity, the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. If at any time the sum of the forces -- sometimes called the net force -- is non-zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
The thrust from the propellers provides the forward force needed to overcome the drag and maintain a constant speed. The lift generated by the wings counters the force of gravity to keep the plane at a constant altitude. As long as these forces are balanced, the plane will continue to fly in a straight path at a constant speed.
When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity in a straight line. This is known as equilibrium.
When a car maintains a constant speed, the forward force produced by the engine is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the resistive forces acting on the car, such as air resistance, rolling resistance, and frictional forces. This balance of forces keeps the car moving at a steady speed.
No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.
The forward momentum forces you back.

It will have zero force BUT, it WILL have a constant velocity

It's not necessary to specify that the object is moving at a constant speed. Any object with no outside forces acting on it does that. It also continues moving in a straight line.

No. An unbalanced force causes motion, but balanced forces keep a body in motion in a straight line at constant velocity, or at rest at constant 0 velocity.
If the forces acting on an object are balanced and the object is moving at a constant speed, the object will continue to move at that constant speed in a straight line. There will be no change in the object's velocity or direction of motion.
When an object is moving at a constant velocity, the forces acting on it are balanced. This means that the net force on the object is zero, which allows it to continue moving at a constant speed in a straight line. The forces acting on the object may include friction, air resistance, and any applied forces.
