I'm assuming you mean air powered as in it requires pumps and has an air tank/bladder.

Well, there isn't really a whole lot that is readily available right now, at least coming from Nerf. There hasn't been a new air powered blaster since the Magstrike which was released over 10 years ago. It's one I would recommend as it is clip fed and is able to fire all ten of its darts in about a second. I think you can find them if you look hard enough in thrift stores and it was a pretty popular blaster in its day, although make sure you get yours with a clip otherwise it will be useless since the Magstrike only works with the Magstrike clip. I'm not sure what the price range you will find because it isn't new from the store.

There is a new air powered blaster that's coming out called the Mediator Barrel and it is essentially a barrel attachment that fires a 3 shot shotgun blast. It's fairly inexpensive and can be used as a standalone blaster, although it isn't released yet so you will have to wait to get your hands on it.

A personal favourite of mine is the Rapid Fire 20, which is similar to the Magstrike except it uses a cylinder on the front that holds 20 darts and you can set it between rapid fire and single fire modes which alter the rate of fire. It gets about the same performance, although it is a bit older and may be harder to find that the Magstrike.

If you don't care about sticking to the Nerf brand, there are many good choices from Buzz Bee that are quite cheap and may be still available. The Destiny is pretty much the same as a Magstrike with a 20 dart clip and you may be able to find them in stores. There are plenty of older ones as well that are good and fairly common in thrift stores.

Now all of these blasters I've suggested so far are good at rate of fire, although due to how they work, they are technically spring powered like most blasters are (except the Mediator Barrel). If you are looking for the truly powerful air powered blasters, they are all single shots. If you are really determined, you can mod any of the Air Tech blasters (except the Air Tech 1000 and Jet Squadron ) to get very good performance and they are still somewhat common in thrift stores if you look hard enough. The Titan is very popular because it has a massive air tank and shouldn't be too hard to find. It normally fires a giant missile but you could easily convert it to fire standard darts. Other good single shots could be the any of the SuperMAXX blasters, although all of these require work to reach good ranges and are not usually easy to find.
