Aktung is right:





The Leduc 022, a ramjet interceptor with an additional turbojet engine. The first prototype made 141 flights and achieved an astonishing Mach 1.15 in 1957, but the Mirage III was eventually selected in 1958 due to budget constrains. The second prototype can be admired in the French Air and Space Museum near Paris' Le Bourget airport.


Over to Aktung

Reminds me of Larry Niven's General Products hull #2

I barely caught the little bump in the puzzle's plexiglass canopy, using my magnifying glass; and came across the museum photo with separate full plexiglass with bump; which solved the puzzle for me.the hard part was catching the ram jet and turbo jet factotum(ie: 2 engines??!) I'll have something shortly.

by definition, 'an engine is something that converts energy into motion'...so yes, an engine of sorts...with "chain drive" obviously.
