"The French word "statoréacteur" has been created in 1945 by Maurice ROY (before :
"trompes ou tuyères thermopropulsives"). The British adopted "Athodyd"
(AeroTHermODYnamic Duct) before using ramjet. In Germany ramjet has been called
"Lorinflugrohr" or "Staustrahltriebwerke". In SSSR, ramjet was named PVRD."

Thanks a lot Deltafan-san! I have enough time to search images. I'm keeping stay home.:)
 
For this GZ4 model from blackkite, at the beginning, I thought it was a Dassault original desk-model (like the desk model of the Dassault MD-750), but I found today that it comes from a French model builder

However, always a great find blackkite ;)
