It does, but if you're at standard speeds(0-5000 m/s), you don't have to account for the change in force that a certain velocity has. You can find the actual equations in the Wikipedia page for Special Relativity.
However, energy does have a use for velocity. Simply put, the sum of the energies of an initial state is equal to the sum of the energies of a final state. An objects(non-relative) kineticl energy is .5mv^2=K, while the work done to slow/stop the plane is the integral of the Force in respect to the distance. Then you have some energy going into heat/other energies. So, assuming it starts with an initial v=0, and starts slowing at a distance d=0, you end up with(when simplified as [initial]=[final]:
.5mv(final)^2=integral(ma)+"lost energy"
(and remember, the acceleration is going to to need to be approximated by a function) From there, you can solve for the force(F=ma) the plane imposed on the building at a point.
Short answer: The speed generally doesn't matter in terms of Force(F=ma). It does with Energy though.
