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.

What rocket powered did Italy designed?
Italy did not use rocket missile or rocket-powered aircraft in World War II. They may well have fired off mortar shells which were and are essentially rockets- but so did most of the combatants. Italy had some neat submarines, but not rockets.
What aircraft can fly in the thermosphere?
Spacecraft and high-altitude aircraft, like spy planes or research aircraft, can fly in the thermosphere. These vehicles are specially designed to withstand the extreme temperatures and low air density in this layer of the atmosphere. Commercial airplanes do not fly in the thermosphere as they operate in the lower layers of the atmosphere.

What is Canada's fastest aircraft?
The fastest aircraft used by Canada is the CF-18 Hornet, which can reach speeds up to Mach 1.8 (1.8 times the speed of sound) or approximately 2,200 km/h.
What is the fastest propeller powered plane?
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.

What was Charles Yeager flying when he beat the speed of sound?
He as flying the The Bell X-1, a rocket engine-powered aircraft.
What is the fastest plane and its speed?
The fastest, free-flying, free air-breathing aircraft in the world is currently the NASA X-43. It is an unmanned, single-use, aircraft. It's not powered by conventional jet engine, but instead uses a scramjet engine. It required an Air Force Boeing B-52 bomber to fire a Pegasus booster rocket with the X-43 attached to get the X-43 up to the required speed. The X-43 set a world record speed of 7,546 MPH (Mach 9.8) on November 16, 2004. The world's fastest manned aircraft is the North American X-15. Again, this aircraft is not powered by conventional jet engines. Instead it is powered by a rocket engine. It required an Air Force B-52 to carry the aircraft as well. On June 28, 1964, the X-15 set the record at 4,520 MPH (Mach 6.72). The Air Force SR-71 is the fastest, free-flying, free air-breathing aircraft having set an official record of 2,193 MPH (Mach 3.26) on July 28, 1976. It is a jet aircraft powered by another exotic engine, a hybrid turbojet/ramjet engine.
Are there any motorized vehicles that have names starting with the letter X?
There is a whole series of experimental aircraft, such as the Bell X-1 and the rocket powered X-15 aircraft, where the "X" stands for "experimental."
