About René Lorin
- René Lorin (24 March 1877– 16 January 1933) was a French aerospace engineer and inventor of the ramjet.
- In 1908 he patented the first subsonic ramjet design.Lorin published the principles of a ramjet in articles in the journal L'Aérophile from 1908 to 1913, expressing the idea that the exhaust from internal combustion engines could be directed into nozzles to create jet propulsion.
- He could not build this invention since there was no way at the time for an aircraft to go fast enough for a ramjet to function properly.When René Leduc applied for a patent on a ramjet design in 1933, he discovered Lorin's publications and tried to contact him, only to learn that he had recently died.
- Leduc thereafter paid homage to Lorin's work.René Lorin is a graduate of the École Centrale Paris.
