D. K. C. MacDonald. David Keith Chalmers MacDonald (24 July 1920 – 28 July 1963) was a Scottish-born metal physicist, cryogenicist and scientific author. He is considered as one of the founding fathers of modern cryogenics.

The MacDonald Memorial Lecture at the University of Manitoba is named in his honour. In authorship he is known as D. K. C. MacDonald, but friends knew him as Keith MacDonald.

Life

He was born on 24 July 1920 in Glasgow the son of George MacDonald, an engineer in Halley's Industrial Motors, a company run by his father-in-law. The family moved to Edinburgh in 1933 and his secondary education was at Edinburgh Academy. He then studied physics at the University of Edinburgh, where he gained a PhD in 1946. That same year he moved to Oxford as a Research Fellow.

In the Second World War he served in the REME as an Instructor at the Military College of Science in Bury.

In 1950 he emigrated to Canada to work as Director of the Cryogenic Laboratory in Ottawa.

In 1954 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were John F. Allen, Edward R. Andrew, Dirk ter Haar and Max Born. In 1960 he was also made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and in Ottawa he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

The University of Ottawa awarded him an honorary professorship shortly before he died. He died of a rare neurological ailment in Ottawa on 28 July 1963.

He was of a nervous disposition and had a morbid fear of moths.

Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. The Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (ITAMP) is an international scientific learned society based at the Center for Astrophysics  Harvard & Smithsonian in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was established in 1988 to alleviate a perceived shortage of theorists in atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) at major universities throughout America. AMO concerns the study of matter-matter and light-matter interactions at the scale of one or a few atoms.

The stated objectives of the Institute are:
 To attract and train scientists of the highest quality in theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics 
 To maintain an active visitors' program to bring senior researchers together for scientific collaboration
 To establish a strong post-doctoral fellowship program.

The objectives are tackled by fostering an intellectually stimulating environment, developing pioneering research areas, facilitating closer interactions between AMO theory and experiment and promoting AMO theory within the general physics community.

It has been involved in some capacity in most of the National Research Council target areas, i.e. precision measurements and tests of fundamental laws, ultracold physics, the development and application of ultra-intense, short wavelength light sources, ultra-fast quantum control of atoms, molecules and electrons, nanoscience, and quantum information science.

The Institute is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Smithsonian Institution, the Center for Astrophysics  Harvard & Smithsonian and Harvard University.

History
The Armstrong Report in 1987 on "The State of Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences in the United States" (National Academy Press, 1987) recommended the setting up of an institute to facilitate the exchange of scientific knowledge and ideas in the AMO field. ITAMP, originally the Institute for Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics was set up in 1988 at Harvard University under its first director Alexander Dalgarno to fulfil that need. The name was changed in 2002 to the Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics although the established ITAMP acronym remained unchanged.

Dalgarno handed control over to Rick Heller in 1993, who left the post in 1998. It was then directed (from 2001) by Kate Kirby, who was later joined as joint director by Misha Lukin. In 2016 the director is Hossein Sadeghpour.

Aerovel Corporation. Aerovel Corporation was founded in 2006 by Dr. Tad McGeer, a designer of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) at various companies for more than 25 years. McGeer co-founded The Insitu Group in 1992, where he was the architect of Aerosonde, SeaScan and ScanEagle. Aerovel Flexrotor is the next evolution in McGeer's line of unmanned aerial systems. 

In January 2024, it was announced that Airbus would acquire the company. When the transaction was completed in May of the same year, Aerovel became part of Airbus' helicopter unit.

Product

The Aerovel Flexrotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) is designed for maritime and land-based operations, day and night, and combines endurance and expeditionary capabilities. It needs a 20' by 20' area for launch and recovery. Flexrotor takes off and lands vertically (VTOL) and then transitions into horizontal wing-borne flight. It flies completely automatically after takeoff, with no pilot intervention needed. Flexrotor quickly assembles for flight, can be rapidly re-stowed in its compact case for storage and transported on a small flatbed truck.

Aerovel Flexrotor has a flight endurance of more than 32 hours, which is a record-setting Group 2 UAS flight endurance, and a 100-kilometer communications range. It is an all-weather aircraft that has operated in harsh conditions including off of various vessels in the Arctic and tropics.

A fixed-wing aircraft, Aerovel Flexrotor requires no runway or launch and retrieval equipment. It is designed for observation, monitoring, intelligence gathering, communications relay, surveillance, reconnaissance, security and scientific data collection. It can be used for a diverse range of commercial, civil and military applications at sea and on land. Airbus Helicopters acquired this product with their acquisition of Aerovel in January 2024.

Extra EA-260. The Extra EA-260 is a hand-built, single-seat aerobatic aircraft derived from the Extra 230 and first flown in 1986. Designed by aerobatic pilot Walter Extra based on the layout of the Extra 230, the Extra 260 is a higher performance version of its predecessor with 60% more power and 18% increase in weight. The first EA-260 was flown by Patty Wagstaff to victory in two U.S. National Aerobatic Championships, in 1991 and 1992, and then retired to the Smithsonian Institution when she obtained an Extra 300S.

Design
The prototype Extra 260 is based on the design of the Extra EA-230, and the two aircraft share many similarities. The Extra 260 has a welded steel tube fuselage covered in fabric with a carbon/glass hybrid composite empennage (i.e., the tail assembly, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder), and a bubble canopy. The monocoque wings have a Polish pine wood spar with birch plywood skins. A symmetrical airfoil, mounted with a zero angle of incidence, provides equal performance in both upright and inverted flight. The landing gear is fixed taildragger style with composite main legs and fiberglass wheel pants. The piston-engined powerplant is a fuel-injected Lycoming AEIO-540-D4A5 and has a 4-bladed constant-speed MT composite propeller.

Operational history
The first EA260 built, Walter Extra's personal airplane and prototype, was donated to the Smithsonian Institution where it was at one time on display. Patty Wagstaff had ordered and paid for another plane just like the EA260, but the plane delivered was not the same and she declined it. This newer plane, larger and different, was the basis for versions of the EA260 referred to as the EA320 by Patty Wagstaff in her book Fire and Air. She arranged for a deal to trade the new plane and her old EA230 for Walter's personal plane. These are registered with the Federal Aviation Administration in the US, one registered in the United Kingdom with the Civil Aviation Authority and one registered in France with the Directorate General for Civil Aviation, for a total of four.
