Exactly the same way you pick up a book or a baby ... by applying an upward force on the object which is greater than the downward force of gravity. Note: This principle does not apply to the process of picking up a cold, a girl, or a passenger. This force is called lift. I won't go into major details about how it works, but it works because of Bernoulli's Principle, which bascially states that moving air has less pressure than still air. An airplane wing forces the air on top of it to move faster than the air below it. The air below it thus has more pressure than the air above the wing. This pressure pushes up on the wing, and creates the lift needed to fly the plane.
It does! If the aircraft has 1,000 kilograms of mass, then there is a force of 2,205 pounds
(9,807 newtons) pulling it down toward the center of the Earth, whether the plane is on
the tarmac, cruising in level flight at 10,000 feet, or still in the factory.
The reason that the plane is not always controlled by that downward force, and is even
able to move upward at times, is that its shape and the equipment inside of it are all
designed in ways that interact with air so as to create upward forces, large enough to
exceed the downward force of gravity.
Very similar to the muscles you have in your legs, which are able to create upward
forces large enough to exceed the downward force of gravity always acting on you,
and enable you to walk up a flight of stairs.
Airplanes have parts like thrusters and wings to boost themselves and counteract the force of gravity to help them stay in the air.
+++ No. The wings add no boost at all. An aeroplane flies because the wings are profiled to produce uplift by the air moving over the wing being at a very slightly lower pressure than that underneath. Consequently the pressure difference produces an upwards force on the wing. The wings do this by being slightly convex on the upper surface so the air passing over it has to travel further, hence faster, than that passing under its flat underside. And as the air's speed increases so its pressure falls.
gravity is a constant force pulling down on you. jumping doesnt escape that fact.
When an airplane takes off, it is going against the gravitational pull. This in turn slows down the plane.
The pull of gravity is what pulls things down. This is on lots of planets.
Air resistance is not a downward force; it acts in the opposite direction of an object's travel. When a plane is in flight the forward force provided by the engines works against the backwards force of air resistance. If the engines are turned off the plane will begin to slow down. As a plane moves foreward the air moving over its wings creates an upward force called lift, which works against the pull of gravity.
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.

If a plane is in level flight, gravity (weight) is equal to lift.
because the friction involved in the box sliding down has overcome the pull of gravity.

because there is no gravity on mars and it doesnt pull down on the object to make it heavier

It does. Astronauts on the moon can jump higher than they do on Earth but they still come back down. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
because of the power of bacon
One does not necessarily float on the moon, rather experiences less gravity which in turn doesnt pull you down at the same speed as persay on the earth

Gravity has the same effect on a pilot as any other object. If a plane is flying very fast, the gravity is still pulling the aircraft and the pilot down towards the earth. If the plane performs maneuvers, then the gravity may seem negligible but it still is pulling down. As objects goes higher away from the earth, the pull of the gravitional forces decreases. But a change in the gravitional force would not be noticeable until you get into space---where a jet can not fly.
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
