The Tupolev Tu-114 is officially proven the fastest propeller powered plane.It travels at 870kmph.But there is one unorthodox plane in the British Navy that is not officially tested but it is said to travel at 980kmph.It is Lockheed XFV-1 Salmon.

The fastest rocket-powered aircraft is the North American X-15, which achieved a top speed of Mach 6.7 (about 4,520 mph). If you are looking for the fastest aircraft that is not rocket-powered, the X-15 still holds the record as it used rocket engines to reach its high speeds.
air force one is the designation given to any plane the president is on. If you mean the usual plane, it is a converted Boeing 767. The plane that holds most records for speed and time\travel is known as the SR71 Blackbird. Actually the president's usual plane is a converted Boeing 747 called a VC-25, and the SR71 Blackbird is the fasted air breathing plane, so there are other unmanned rocket powered planes that can go much faster and much higher
Yes, the Concorde was one of the fastest commercial airplanes ever made. It had a cruising speed of around 1,350 mph (2,180 km/h), which allowed it to fly at supersonic speeds, faster than the speed of sound.
Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes. Less efficient slow plane
Yes, the Concorde was the fastest passenger plane in service, flying at over twice the speed of sound. It could reach speeds of up to 1,354 mph (2,180 km/h).
