Yes, they are still there.
The routes are _typically_ the higher profile ones (domestic and overseas), operated by US carriers. So LAX-NYC is more likely to have marshalls on board than Dallas-Tulsa. But the system is based on random allocation, so bad guys can't pick a "low-profile" flight and hijack it to a different destination.
Also El Al and some British-owned flights have marshalls.
Any size aircraft can have marshalls, but it would be rarer on something smaller than a 737.
(If you know what you're looking for, you can sometimes spot them. But you'll understand if I don't go into details).

That's a tough question to answer, but the short version is that when an airplane is propelled forward, its wings, which are angled slightly upwards, slow down the air passing under them, which becomes pressurized, and reduces air going to the top of the wing, which therefore loses pressure. The air beneath the wing is pushing up, and the low pressure of the air above the wing is creating less resistance against the wing rising. The combination of these two forces creates lift, which causes the airplane to rise up and fly. The amount of forward motion and the angle of the wing determines how much lift is generated, so that also determines whether a plane ascends, descends, or flies in a relatively level path.

Air marshalls still fly randomly. Primarily on international flights, but they do fly domestic routes as well. You likely won't notice, as they appear as just another business traveler. The flight attendants won't even know most of the time, unless they announce themselves.

I believe that there are still Air Marshall's on the aircraft, but you don't know where are the are dressed in plain clothes. They are on all types of commercial aircraft.

You had better believe there are and you would never know
what they look like , My daughter works for A federal agency .I wont say which one ,Because I might get her in trouble but I
know she has a loaded 9mm Glock in her purse she is in her mid twenty's and is very cute and outgoing
,anyhow we were taking
a domestic flight we were coming up to screening I never
pry or go though her purse I respect her privacy but she
had showed me the Glock and I knew it was in there as we approached screening she left us and she walked up to an
official and started talking to him .She reached in her purse
and took out some cards and gave them to him. they both
left ,but I could tell she was still smiling anyhow about 15
minutes later when we got to our seats she was already.
there acting very normal . Now I really feel very secure
on flights because there is a lot of law enforcement that
ride on planes and you could never guess who they are..

Why do you want to know?
In any case, ask the flight attendant, they will tell you.
