An airplane requires a much less force in order to get off the ground than a rocket does, since a rocket needs to exit Earth’s atmosphere.
Planes typically travel at much slower speeds that traditional rockets, as they are faced with varying restrictions that affect how quickly they fly.
Both forms of transportation, although very different in certain aspects, are similar in the fact that they both need to adhere to similar constraints. Although most airplanes aren’t faced with the challenge of exiting the atmosphere, they do need to focus on their fuel, their safety, etc. just as rockets do as well.
