Leduc 0.22 создан на пике успеха Ледюка, но неудачи в программе и появление Dassault Mirage III привели к прекращению финансирования работ по теме.

The Leduc 021, a test vehicle for the 022 Mach 2 fighter, is being used for research at altitudes between 33.000 ft. and 66.000 ft. Initial rate of climb is 19.400 ft./min.

Апрель-май 1953г.: Во Франции 16 мая с аэродрома Лангедок выполнил первый полет экспериментальный самолет Leduc 0.21 с прямоточным воздушно-реактивным двигателем. Он предназначался для исследования особенности полетов на больших скоростях и высотах. ПВРД Turbomeca Marbore II были установлены на законцовках крыла, самолет выполнял взлет и посадку обычным способом. Расчетная максимальная скорость самолета Leduc 0.21 составляла 1000 км/ч.

The Leduc 021.01 was the last of a series of relatively low speed ramjet demonstrators developed by Rene Leduc, who had pioneered the ramjet development. Like its forebears, the 021 needed to be launched from the modified Sud Est SE 161 Lanquedoc mother ship. Design limited to Mach 0.85 at 35,000 feet, or 562mph, the 021's integral ramjet provided a formidable 13.200lb of thrust at this speed and altitude. To get home, the 021, of which two were built, housed a 836lb s.t. Turbomeca Mabore II within the ramjet duct. The 021's first powered flight was made on 7 August 1953, following upon which both 021s were tested at altitudes between 33,000 and 66.000 feet, contributing to the development of the Nord 1500 Griffon.

The 0.21 ram-jet from the rear. It is completely different from any other ram-jet engine. The dazzling areas are the stainless steel shrouds. In the centre is the accessory-drive Artouste with the shadow of the nacelle beyond . There are six concentric rings of burners, each with an inner and outer ring of vortex generator blades. The black and white effect indicates primary and secondary combustion.

SUPERSONIC RAMJET. The Leduc 022, France's supersonic ramjet-development aircraft, made its first flight on 26th December. The Atar turbojet accelerates the 022 to the speed at which the ramjet can be started.

Development of the Leduc 022 was still in the pipeline, so to speak, when the project was axed in 1957.
