In June 1967 a Mooney M-22 flew non-stop from New York to Paris-Le Bourget in 13 hours and 10 minutes.

Is this still the record or has it been beaten?

Which is the fastest single engine piston airplane?

According to Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the international organization that sanctions aircraft records, the Grumman F8F Bearcat holds the world single engine piston record at 850.24 km/h (528.88 mph). The record was set on August 21st, 1989. The question as posed does not make a distinction between those aircraft in current production and those no longer in production. The claim for fastest production aircraft is currently held by Mooney's Acclaim Type S at 242kts.

Would a prop plane fly internationally?

Prior to 1952, all commercial international flights were propeller-driven aircraft. The Douglas DC-4, a commercial aviation workhorse, had a range of 4,250 miles. Before 1946, transatlantic flights to and from the US typically required a stop in Gander, Newfoundland. In 1946, the first non-stop transatlantic flights were inaugurated, using Lockheed Constellation aircraft. The B-29 Stratofortress, a propeller-driven long-range bomber, has a maximum range (unloaded) of 5,600 miles. The distance record for a B-29 is 7,916 miles.

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.
