Does airplanes sometimes stop in air?
NO, airplanes have to keep moving in the air.
How airplanes sometimes stop in air before landing in air before landing?
There are a few VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) Aircraft that can do that. Usually by angling the thrust from the Engine(s) down instead of rearwards. Generally, Airplanes do not stop in mid-air, certainly not before landing. It is possible however due to an optical illusion that they may appear to have stopped moving. When an airplane is lined up to land, there are several stages to the approach. When the pilot makes the transition to final approach he reduces the throttle to increase the descent rate, but may not need to alter the position of the aircraft (such as lowering the nose) at all. An observer on the ground which is watching this from the airport may very well experience an optical illusion due to this. As the aircraft changes from a flight path which would pass directly overhead into a flight path which is more directly down the observers line of aspect, but without making any noticeable changes to pitch it could easily appear that the aircraft has momentarily stopped in mid-air even though it is in fact travelling over 100 mph. A similar illusion happens when playing catch, when the ball appears to hang in midair for an instant as it passes through the arc and is coming straight down your line of sight.

to name it and admire Penn's landing
Do airplanes have any friction?
Airplanes experience friction during takeoff and landing as their wheels touch the runway. Friction helps the airplane slow down or come to a stop. Additionally, air resistance (drag) acts as another form of friction, slowing the airplane's forward motion in flight.
How do you stop a U-Boat?
Airplanes found them and sunk them the fastest.
How often can gerbils reproduce?
Males- From about 7 weeks until they die (or get very ill) Females- From 5 weeks, once a month and they stop producing either when they are about 2 years old, sometimes younger, sometimes older and sometimes they will die before they stop.
How does an airplane landing work?
Almost every aspect of an airplane landing is managed by computer. The most important aspect is decelerating the airplane so the brakes and landing gear can stop the plane.
What is the proper landing speed of a huge jet?
The proper landing speed of a huge aircraft is between 250 to 300 kmph. A good landing speed is 280kmph. Over speed in the landing then you may not be able to stop the plane in time.

How do airplanes fly across the world?
The same way they would fly from New York to Los Angeles. If they were attempting to fly around the world this would require in-flight refueling or they will have to stop and refuel.
