Would it make sense to add the 'height' factor? An airplane reaches and does most of its course at 3km, while a helicopter at a much lower heights and thus well within the firing range of far more weapons.

Airliners fly at 8000-10000m most of the time.

Correct, feet vs m got me.. pilots say 30000f, not 3000m.
That makes my point even stronger (planes vs helicopters and their reach-ability from the ground).
