Since lift is produced when the wing forces the air above to speed up, the wings needs to be moving through the air, gathering speed, to keep producing lift. If the plane stopped flying forward, it could not produce lift, an thus could not stay up, unlike the helicopter which uses a propeller to stay airborn.
