They must have sufficient thrust from their engines and lift from their wings to overcome their weight and the aerodynamic drag forces. Most rockets do not have sufficient wings to lift them but their engines provide a thrust force that is greater than their weight and it keeps pushing them vertically in the air.

What do airplanes and rockets have in common?
Airplanes and rockets are both vehicles designed for travel through the air/space. They both use propulsion systems to generate thrust for movement and wings/fins for stabilization and control. Both airplanes and rockets rely on aerodynamics principles for lift and propulsion.
Why are airplanes called ships?
Airplanes move through the air in a similar fashion to the way boats move through the water.
What are the examples of air?
The most obvious are being used every day. Air transportation includes: Airplanes, Helicopters, Hot Air Balloons, Blimps, Rockets, Kites, Parachutes and Birds.
Why will a rocket work in space where there is not enough air for other vehicles to operate?
Vehicles such as airplanes and cars rely on oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. Rockets take the oxygen with them.

What statements are true about airplane and rocket flight?
Both airplanes and rockets rely on the principles of aerodynamics and propulsion to achieve flight, but they operate in different environments. Airplanes fly within the Earth's atmosphere, using wings to generate lift and engines to provide thrust, while rockets operate both in the atmosphere and in space, relying on Newton's third law of motion for thrust. Unlike airplanes, rockets do not require air to generate lift and can travel at much higher speeds, making them essential for reaching outer space. Additionally, airplanes typically require runways for takeoff and landing, whereas rockets launch vertically and can land on various surfaces or return to Earth through controlled descent.
Are airplanes aircraft?
Yes, airplanes are aircraft. However, not all aircraft are airplanes. Helicopters, blimps, and balloons are aircraft- but they are not airplanes. Airplanes are generally fixed wing machines that move through the air.
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 is the difference between airplanes and gliders?
Airplanes have engines, gliders don't and must be towed up in the air in order to fly by a tow plane.
What are the different types of air transportation?
There are various types of air transportation such as commercial aircraft, privet planes, amphibious aircraft, helicopters, lighter than aircraft, hot air balloons, blimps, zeppelins, airplanes, and rockets.
Does airplanes sometimes stop in air?
NO, airplanes have to keep moving in the air.
Which statements describes a difference between the mechanics of airplane flight and rocket flight?
rockets need only upward thrust as a force for flight
