Before WW2,brilliant Engineer René Leduc had a project for an airplane powered by a ramjet.This project could really develop after the war only.Due to absence of thrust when motionless ,to obtain initial speed necessary for engine startup,Leduc had the idea to install his aircraft on top of a modified SE-161 Languedoc.
November 19/1946,the so called composite took off from Blagnac airport (Toulouse).It took several months before 010 could be released in free flight ,which occured on Oct 21/1947.April 21/1949,after being released two times for gliding,historical flight took place,establishing climb using only ramjet power.
11,000 meters could be reached in few minutes as well as Mach 0,85 !.
René Leduc could no longer face alone the experience,therefore he created a company in Paris area and signed some governmental contarcts.A second 010 was built.Then,due to strong meteo constraints,flight test program was moved south in Istres.A 016 prototype,powered by two wingtip additional engines was tested,but rapidly cancelled as too delicate to develop.
The flight program was severely affected by the crash of the two 010,so 016 was used as a replacement joined by two larger 021 .016 joined the museum in 1953 ,then the two 021 performed 385 flights ,including 248 free flights.
Not only the fact to use ramjet,Leduc airplanes were also using numerous innovations,such as jettisoning cabin,hydraulic servos,use of titane,wings milled in mass,etc...
022 accomplished first flight in 1956,using a central turbojet (ATAR 101 D2)in addition to the ramjet.So ,it could take off alone ,without assstance of a transporter aircraft.141 flights were performed.Mach 1,15 ,ceiling over 20,000 M ,with capability for Mach 2.
Budget issues ,progress of afterburners,in conjunction with too many other national projects( Trident,Gerfaut,Durandal,Baroudeur,Griffon...),the program was stoped in 1958,opening the door for... Dassault Mirage III ,but this is another story !

The Leduc 0.21 was a research aircraft built in France in 1953 to refine the practicalities of ramjet propulsion. Initially proposed as the 0.20, it was essentially similar to its predecessor, the Leduc 0.10, but scaled up by around 30%, with tip tanks added to the wings. Again, it was not capable of take-off under its own power, and had to be carried aloft and released.
Two examples were built and completed a very detailed flight test program from 1953 to 1956 to develop automated, operationally viable throttle controls for the ramjet. This included a total of 284 free flights. Designed for subsonic speeds only, the 0.21 reached a top speed of Mach 0.95.
Radical design for a ramjet powered interceptor by René Leduc. This was supposed to be able to fly supersonic but its failure to do so in 1956 marked the end of his interest in ramjet aircraft.
Edmonton Kenworth is now operating a major, new full-service dealership with 42 service bays in Leduc, Alberta. The new dealership is on 16 acres at 8202 42nd Street near the Edmonton International Airport. It features an 111,500-square-foot main building with an indoor showroom large enough for customers to view up to four Kenworth trucks out of the elements.

Lou Leduc and Joe Ganim were married in the summer of 1951. They went on their honeymoon to Picton Ontario.
They stayed at a cabin at Lake on the Mountain which is a small tourist area near Picton.

The Leduc grain elevator is huge and one of the most beautiful ones I have seen in Alberta and Canada. It is very close to downtown Leduc. Many of these historic wooden grain elevators are disappearing from Western Canada's landscape.

Ordered in 1937 by the Ministry of Air, the Leduc 010 was almost completed in May 1940. It will be resumed and completed in December 1945 to perform its initial flight on November 19, 1946 mounted in composite on an SE 161 "Languedoc". Piloted by Jean Gonord, the Leduc 010 became on April 21, 1949 the first aircraft in the world to fly with a thermopropulsive nozzle. The model on display was originally the 016 fitted with 2 “Marboré” 250 kgp turbojets. Due to the weakness of these engines, the aircraft was upgraded to 010 standard in 1952 and flew until 1964.

Art bike artist Natali Leduc returned to Chattanooga to teach a series of workshops with the cool folks at Art 120 and will brought an interactive sculpture to town for a small tour of Chattanooga.
“Thenwedieatron” a collaborative sculpture by Mattew Gorgol and Natali Leduc, is a giant pyramid inflated by a stationary fan-bicycle.
“Thenwedieatron” began its first week on the 4th floor of The Chattanooga Public Library on Monday, July 1 and stayed through Friday, July 12. Visitors to the library took turns to inflate the structure and walk inside the pyramid.
These opportunities are made possible through the collaborative efforts of The Chattanooga Public Library, Art 120, Glass House Collective, Outdoor Chattanooga, the Hunter Museum, and the Lyndhurst Foundation.
