found: Wikipedia, August 5, 2010:under Messerschmitt Me 163 (the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was a German rocket-powered fighter aircraft; it remains the only rocket-powered fighter to have ever been operational; its design was revolutionary, and the plane was capable of performance unrivalled at the time; Messerschmitt test pilot Rudy Opitz in 1944 reached 698 mph; over 300 planes were built, however the Komet proved ineffective as a fighter, having been responsible for the destruction of only about nine Allied aircraft)
