Do wizards even know what an air plane is?

If we're gonna go that route you also have to ask if the wizards could have done 9/11

They are aware of the muggle world, and some of them study muggle things

I'd say that's an easy yes but I'm willing to fistfight.

They definitely could but all we'd need is some rambunctious whippersnappers with a can-do attitude to save the day

Wizards can't even stop bullets. Unless they were actually on the plane and fighting hijackers then they're not going to stop a plane from hitting anything.

Why wouldn't they know planes? They live in the real world, they just aren't supposed to practice magic openly.

They don't know very basic details about muggles.

Some of them study muggles, and some of them literally come from muggle families

Yes, there are wizards who know what airplanes are, idk how thats a question

But they're a very small minority

Most wizards think Arthur Weasley is a weirdo for liking muggle technology
And even he doesn't really know how stuff works

Given the wizarding world tends to choose to live in basically Victorian times and have basically an Amish-perspective on modern technology, I don't think they'd do that well if they had to fight, like, a gun.

Though it would be fun to make another Hogwarts movie, and everyone just has to deal with that muggle kid who brought his iPhone so he could call home.

The weird thing about the HP universe is that wizards are aware that muggle tech exists, yet they are completely ignorant of it.

Like, they use owls to send letters, right?
But you need to use a payphone to enter the Ministry of Magic in London

So wizards are aware that phones exist, but have no desire to use them despite being far more convenient (and faster) than using an owl to send a message.

My understanding is that their magic causes electromagnetic interference, which disrupts a lot of modern technology's functioning.

Of course, that leaves the huge plothole of why technology doesn't go to shit when wizards are around in the muggle world...

They could do a counter 9/11.

So all the wizards in the world fly into the planes before they crash. If a bird can clog up propellers/engines etc. surely a bunch of wizards can.

Do they ever say that in HP? Doesn't Arthur use modern tech pretty well? I know that in Dresden Files tech and magic do not mix, unless you are not human. Harry Dresden can fry a security cam by glaring at it, but a Fae can use a cellphone with no issue.

It's only disrupted by extremely high concentrations of magic. So electronics wouldn't work in Hogwarts because it's so heavily enchanted, but a couple hundred wizards living in London wouldn't mess things up.
