Leduc 022 French Statoreactor Jet 1/72 Mach 2 Models

The Leduc 0.22 never made it past the prototype phase. It was a Mach 2 fighter built in France in 1956 and it was the first attempt at a practical application of the ramjet technology that had been developed in the 0.10 and 0.21 aircraft. It featured new swept wings and a coaxial turbojet-ramjet power plant to enable unassisted operation. First flown in December 1956 on turbojet power alone, the ramjet was finally fired on the 34th flight in May 1957. Another 80 flights took place before the cancellation of the project for the more conventional Dassault Mirage III. A second prototype was under construction at the time.
