Description
The Leduc 0.22 was the prototype of a Mach 2 fighter built in France in 1956. It was the first attempt at a practical application of the ramjet technology that had been developed in the 0.10 and 0.21 research aircraft over the previous years. Unlike all previous Leduc aircraft, it featured swept wings and a coaxial turbojet-ramjet powerplant to enable unassisted operation. (Sources Wikipedia)
