Gustaf Ising. Gustaf Adolf Ising (; 19 February 1883 - 5 February 1960) was a Swedish metrologist, geophysicist, and accelerator physicist.

Biography
Ising earned his first academic degree (filosofie kandidat/Bachelor of Arts) at Uppsala University in 1903 and continued studying at Stockholm University receiving his Ph.D. in 1919, and receiving an honorary professor title in 1934.

He is best known for the invention of the linear accelerator concept in 1924, which is the progenitor of all modern accelerators based on oscillating electromagnetic fields. His article was then taken up and turned into practice by Rolf Widerøe, also starting the development of cyclic accelerator structures like the cyclotron.

He was elected to the Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1935, being a member of the Nobel Committee for Physics from 1947 to 1953, together with former Nobel laureate and chairman Manne Siegbahn, Svante Arrhenius, Erik Hulthen, Axel Edvin Lindh, Ivar Waller, and Gudmund Borelius.

Kirkham Air Yacht. The Kirkham Air Yacht, also called the Kirkham Gull, was an early monoplane executive transport seaplane.

Design and development
The Kirkham Air Yacht was a custom built executive transport built in 1925 for Harold Stirling Vanderbilt. Design and construction was started in 1920 by Charles Kirkham. H T Booth, previously of Curtiss, was also involved in the design. Its mission was to provide transport to and from New York City and Newport, Rhode Island. Its design is very similar to the Collier Trophy-winning Loening S-1 Flying Yacht. The all-metal gull-winged Kirkham Flying Yacht was built concurrently in the same shop in Long Island as the Bonney Gull, another more experimental gull wing design.

The Air Yacht is an all-metal seaplane with a mid-gull wing planform. Power is from a single  pusher engine. The cockpit is open and the passenger compartment is enclosed.

Fernic T-9. The Fernic T-9, also called the Fernic F.T.9, (Fernic Tandem model 9) is an early three-surface aircraft, having two lifting wings in tandem as well as a conventional tailplane. It was a light twin-engined craft intended for flight distance record setting.

Design and development

Designer George Fernic was a Romanian aviator who developed the T-9 after emigrating to the United States from Germany.

The Fernic T-9 can be seen as a conventional twin-engined monoplane with the addition of a  nose-mounted canard foreplane to provide two lifting surfaces in tandem. The canard was designed to stall ahead of the main wing, reducing the risk of stalling or spinning the entire aircraft. The plywood covered aircraft also featured tricycle landing gear with a castering nose wheel. A spring steel tail skid was added to protect the tail.

Fernic tested the design with professor Alexander Klemin in the wind tunnels of the Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, New York University in 1926. For the transatlantic effort, the upper engine nacelles were able to be removed and powered with a small outboard motor for water ditching.

Operational history
The T-9 was first flown at Roosevelt Field in New York on 10 September 1929. The landing gear and wings were damaged on its second day of test flying. A record flight from the United States to Bucharest, Romania was planned with the prototype. Fernic did not complete the flight due to a fatal accident he suffered while landing his later three-surface design, the Fernic FT-10 Cruisaire in 1930.

CTAG. CTAG is a computational fluid dynamics model for the behaviour of air pollutants on and near roadways.

CTAG stands for Comprehensive Turbulent Aerosol Dynamics and Gas Chemistry, is an environmental turbulent reacting flow model designed to simulate the transport and transformation of air pollutants in complex environments. It is developed by the Energy and the Environmental Research Laboratory ( EERL) at Cornell University.

CTAG’s plume transport model designed for on-road and near-road applications is called CFD-VIT-RIT. CTAG has been applied to investigate the plume dispersion near different highway configurations, chemical evolution of nitrogen oxides near roadways, spatial variations of air pollutants in highway-building environments, and effects of vegetation barriers on near-road air quality.

Charles B. Kirkham. Charles B. Kirkham  (1882–1969) was an American engineer of aircraft engines and aircraft.

Early life 

Kirkham started engineering by building motorcycle engines. In 1903, Kirkham and Curtiss delivered an engine to Thomas C. Benbow for future use in a dirigible. In 1905 he founded the Kirkham Motor and Manufacturing Company in Bath, New York with two others and $25,000 in capital. His father John Kirkham cast engine blocks for Glen Curtiss up until 1905. Kirkham worked in Senaca Falls, becoming sick and returning home. Kirkham enrolled in a mechanical engineering correspondence course while recuperating. In 1910 Kirkham built his first aircraft engine of his own design. The Kirkham B-6 was used on the 1910 Burgess Company Model F. In 1913 Kirkham started another company, the Kirkham Aeroplane and Motor Company with $100,000 in capital. Kirkham joined Glenn Curtiss and went to work for Curtiss Aeroplane in 1915 as Chief motor engineer for the popular Curtiss OX and sole VX engine that powered the speedboat "Miss Miami".

Later Kirkham would top rival Hispano Suiza with the Curtiss AB, a 300 hp aluminum blocked, twelve-cylinder engine for fighter use. This engine would evolve into the K-12. Kirkham designed a Curtiss Triplane in 1919 to take full advantage of the K-12 engine. A Seaplane variant became the world's fastest seaplane in 1920 at 138 mph. A biplane variant for the U.S. Army label the Curtiss P-86, was dropped after the crash of a prototype.

In 1919 Kirkham left Curtiss to form Kirkham Products.
