Here's a couple of better (i.e. more firmly grounded in reality) tech articles on the
Atlantis Research Labs ramjet concept:

Mravcak said Atlantis, which previously had worked in solar energy, was able to acquire at low cost the results of research on this concept in Quebec, and hopes to take it farther along and sell it.
The Atlantis subsidiary doing this is called Avro Aircraft Limited, a recycling of one of the most famous names in Canadian aircraft manufacturing.
"Avro" was left legally unprotected for 40 years, said Mravcak, who said Atlantis snapped it up because it embodies "spirit and quality".
So - it's a metal-and-wood mockup (you can see the quality of the mockup in the photo below
) of an unproven design, bought by a solar energy company with zero experience in engine development or aviation and marketed under a famous aviation name they picked up as it wasn't legally protected.
