Ah, this is actually a great ask to do some shape breakdown stuff for! I approach planes the same way as I approach sketching any vehicle (or subject matter, really.) It's all about looking at how the thing is put together, simplify, and then draw! Airplane shapes are either just "tube with wings" or, when it comes to the slightly more complex military aircraft, tube shapes and box shapes smashed together. These shapes have more blending to then on fancier stuff like stealth aircraft, but if you look closely, you'll find that the structure is probably a lot more simple than what it seems at first glance. The first thing I'd recommend, if you're not comfy with drawing vehicles, is to go and trace a bunch of photos and just get a feel for what shapes they're made out of, before going off to construct them yourself. I think it will make it a lot less daunting. I doodled a bunch of stuff to explain, plus a specific tip this ask made me realize! (The panel lines thing) (Pardon the formatting too, I just threw this together on the spot haha)
