The French Leduc 0.21 was an experimental aircraft built in 1953. Initially proposed as the 0.20, it was essentially similar to its predecessor, the Leduc 0.10, but scaled up by around 30% and with tip tanks added to the wings. It was not capable of take-off under its own power but had to be carried into the air and then released. Two examples were built, and they completed a 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.
