How many wheels are there for an aeroplane?

r there any vacancies for pilots?

Like everyone says, it depends on the airplane. But not everyone has done even the slightest bit of research. Some planes have no wheels. The Germans had a rocket plane during WWII called the ME163 that was launched on a wheeled cart of sorts, but these wheels were not part of the airplane, and they were jettisoned after the plane took off, and it landed on a skid that was built into the belly of the airplane. Some float planes are equipped with just floats, while others have retractable wheels so the plane can be moved out of the water on a ramp. Sailplanes generally have two wheels, one in front and a tail wheel. Some don't have a tail wheel, so they only have one wheel and skids on the wingtips and the tail. On the other end of the spectrum is the AN225, a Russian aircraft that has 32 tires. So as you can see, the minimum number of wheels on an airplane is zero, and the maximum is at least 32.

At any one point how many airplanes are there in the skies?

From 0 to.....boh....a lot.
glider used to have only a skid, but also Me-163 landed without wheels, and also seaplanes are usually without wheels.
modern gliders have a wheel under the cabin and some also a little one under the tail.
A lot of planes have 3 wheels, but some have 3 gear legs but the wheel's number is bigger......it's quite common to see 2 coaxial wheels on each leg.
some big airplanes have more than 3 gear legs....for example 1 under the nose and 3 or 4 main landing gear legs with a lot of wheels on each leg.
I don't know what is the most wheeled plane in the world, but Me-323(10 wheels), Arado-232( 25) and Antonov An-225 (I think 36 wheels!) don't really lack of wheels!

Why do we have to make sure our seats are upright during flight takeoff and landing?

The bigger the plane the more wheels it will have this is done to spread the airplanes weight over a greater area and spare the runway a lot of torture. The fewest wheels can be found on gliders they have one in some cases they have none just a skid like in Germany's rocket fighter the comet. In other cases like the Russian AN-225 it has 32 wheels. but most small planes have three.
