Payen-Melot Pa.22-1R

30.0k Dumpworks  8.2 years ago

This aircraft was Frances first jet project, it was designed around the Melot ramjet engine, it was going to compete in an aircraft race earlier but without the engine it wasn't ready and the race was cancelled due to the start of WWII, if ready it could have been a fighter to replace the older French prop planes (its very slow at low altitudes, but at higher altitudes it can fly faster and has more speed to manuver, VTOL for landing gear)
