Depends on how one looks at this. IF, I remember correct, the Goodyear Blimp is considered an Airplane. Also the Military has Jets that can stand in the Air, but, they require a force to hold them there.
I wish I could remember this, it was about 5-8 years ago. Some company had This thing like Marlboro miles and was showing thing a person could buy with there miles, or, whatever. At the end they showed a Harrier Jet and showed like 100,000/1,000,000 of their miles/whatever. Some guy actually got enough miles to get the jet!!!! Was a big deal in the news. But, I do not think he got his Jet, they made a compromise. Maybe someone can remember this in more detail.

Yes, it's possible, for for only a moment. Planes which go into a steep climb can stall out, causing the plane tolose momentum. When the speed of the plane reaches it zenith, the plane will stop climbing for a moment and then begin to plummet to earth. BUT for that brief moment, the plane would be standing still.
The Harrier Jump Jet has the ability to 'hover' in the air, like a helicopter. The jets are aligned up and down as the jet takes of, seeming to "jump" from it's spot. As the jets are rotated to flight position, the plane flies forward.

Thus far, an airiplane canno stand in air.. Helicopters are designed so that they can (more or less) stand in air with the propeller moving of course

yes it can. and i'm not talking about helicopters. planes that can stand motionless at one place are the ones that work on the principle of VTOL.... Vertical Take Off and Landing. they are mostly planes that need short takeoffs like sea harriers, which take off from ships. STOL.... stands for Short Take..... !

Depends on the composition of the plane.

YES,it can but it should have that type of engine in it.Infact there are some planes of this kind

The Osprey and the Harrier can.

No -- things that are heavier than air fall down and go boom.
