    A Tomahawk cruise missile only uses a rocket motor to take off from a ship or submarine. After launch, it unfolds its wings and uses a jet engine to fly to its target.

      “Added unfolding wings for effect of cool.”

      Seriously though, Rocket and jet engine is heavy. I know that from KSP.
