None of the primates nor humans can fly on their own, but Lemurs can jump 25 feet from tree to tree. In terms of monkeys, they can't even jump that far... less than the average human. Humans jump about 5-8 feet on flat ground (not counting pro jumpers or atheletes) but monkeys jump about 2-6 feet with the same headway... monkeys cannot fly or glide without mechanisms to assist, no matter what!!!

Yes. The monkeys sent up in the NASA rockets, technically are flying. As for the rest of them No, but the answer is yes

Sure, in same way humans fly. Put one in a cage, check it in with the rest of your airline luggage.
If you mean "winged monkeys" well they don't exist outside of the Wizard of Oz books.

All monkeys can fly if they are in a plane?

No of course not. None have wings.Belshwada et al are thinking of a flying squirrel or flying fox.. which is a type of bat.Monkeys do not have extended side skins.They are very agile and can use branches to their advantage.

Never.They just glide from one tree to the other, almost same like the flying squirrel.

the right term would be glide..coz some monkeys ride with the wind with their extended side skins but not flap wings on transferring from tree to tree.
