Speaking of aircraft, I've been wondering, how come we never see starships traveling much faster than what looks like maybe 100 to 200 miles per hour when they should be able to travel up to sublight speed in real space? Since they possess a FTL drive that should allow them to travel much faster in slipspace, why not 99% of light speed in real space? Even the Foreunner Dreadnought took several days to arrive at Earth.
