How to capture moving planes without getting blurry?

[ALPHA320]

Hi,

since photographing I've always had the problem when shooting moving, flying planes, that the photos always are not the way sharp I was expecting. It's not when shooting parked or taxiing planes. So my question: Which settings do I need to shoot moving planes with best sharpness and without being blurry?

Here are my examples:

The whole plane is completely blurry...

Engine and cockpit section are sharp, the rest is blurry...

My camera:
Olympus SP-550UZ

My settings:
F5.6, ISO100, 1/100 - 1/800

Thanks for help!
