Hello Yufangbo
The more common one used would be the second one "aeroplanes have a reputation". For the 1st one, it would be better suited when talking about a specific airplane (as opposed to airplanes in general). For example:
"The US Airforce One has the best reputation for on time-flights"
(this is just an example, Im not sure if that plane does have that repuation)
hope this helps!

I believe that "a reputation for" is the most natural way to say this:
"Aeroplanes have a reputation for being dangerous".
However, "the reputation of" is included in various dictionary: "Aeroplanes have the reputation *of* being dangerous"
In practice there is no difference between the two, though "a reputation for" sounds more natural and is used more commonly in my opinion.
Here is another example:
"The company has a worldwide reputation for high quality products."
"A bad reputation" and "a good reputation" are also very common:
"This hotel has a good reputation in the city"
We can also talk about a person's reputation:
"He won't do the interview with that news channel, he wants to protect his reputation".
