Rockets have sufficient power to lift the vehicle with thrust only and use fins for guidance. Airplanes don't have that much power and have to generate lift through the use of airfoils. And a glider that has no engine has very long wings. Most rockets have a very high thrust-to-weight ratio. The old F-104 fighter jet was almost considered a rocket. It had short, stubby wings that were very thin compared to its long length and large jet engine. I was very fast but not very maneuverable so was not very good in a dog fight.
