A ramjet, sometimes referred to as a stovepipe jet, is a type of jet engine. The idea was patented as early as 1908 by René Lorin, but it only became reality with the works of René Leduc (who was stopped by France's occupation in World War II and resumed after the war) and William Avery in the United States.
