Her name's Katie, she's a USAF F-16 crew chief. She's a hardcore Boston Red Sox fan and is obsessed with her dog, Pongo. She gets hit on and asked on dates so often that she just tells people she's in a relationship. Her smile is even better in person.

Get in this cockpit…1956 French concept, Leduc 0.22 (31 Photos)

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 09:04 PM PDT

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. First flown on 26 December 1956 on turbojet power alone, the ramjet was finally fired on the 34th flight, on 18 May 1957. Another 80 flights took place before the cancellation of the project in favour of the more conventional Dassault Mirage III. A second prototype was under construction at the time. Although intended to be a supersonic fighter, the 0.22 proved unable to exceed the speed of sound (Mach 1) because of the prohibitive drag induced by its non-area-ruled fuselage at near-sonic speeds. The cancellation of the project marked the end of René Leduc's aircraft development activities.
