No.
A purely ballistic rocket, such as an ICBM (think of the WWII "V-2"), follows the curve of a stone tossed up in the air.
The engine provides thrust that propels it: when the engine runs out of fuel, the rocket begins to decelerate and eventually falls back to Earth - the only exceptions being those that are fast enough to go into orbit, such as the space shuttle.
These missiles (including the Saturn moon mission launchers) only need the tail fins for steering and stability.
A cruise missile is designed for horizontal flight, so it uses wings, just like a conventional airplane.

Why do rockets need wings?
because without the wings the plane would be unstable and crash. by:jake tompson
Why don't rockets have wings?
Rockets don't have wings because they rely on thrust generated by engines to propel them through the air and into space. Unlike airplanes, rockets travel vertically and do not require lift from wings to stay airborne. Instead, they use fins and control surfaces to stabilize their flight.
What do you call the wings of the rocket?
Rockets do not have wings.However rockets need a means of stabilization and control, this can be done two ways:thruster controlsfins (this will only work while the rocket is in the atmosphere)With thruster controls the rocket engine thrust may be varied, the rocket engine nozzles may gimbal, or auxiliary thrusters may be used.What you are probably thinking of is the fins, which can be either fixed or movable. But they have no lift and are not wings and as stated above many rockets totally lack any fins.
Why do bottle rockets need water to fly?
Bottle rockets require water to create steam pressure within the bottle. This pressure builds up when the water inside is heated by the ignited propellant, causing the bottle to launch upwards. The steam escaping through the nozzle propels the bottle rocket into the air.
Why do bottle rockets have triangular wings instead of rectangular?
Triangular wings provide stability and control during flight due to their shape creating less drag. This design helps the bottle rocket maintain a straight trajectory and prevents it from spinning or veering off course. Additionally, the triangular shape allows for easier assembly and attachment to the rocket body.

How is a rocket different from a bird?
birds are alive and rockets dont need air to fly birds have wings and rockets have tail fins
