yes these are completely correct, no i do not take criticism. either compliment me and my clever thoughts or walk away.

damon

- pretends his initials stand for ‘damon fucking salvatore.’

- Humanity isn’t something Damon lacks. He ignores it sometimes, but he did that when he was human too

- shy. so PAINFULLY shy. that didn’t change until post 70s.

- fav colour is jade green.

- born in italy, then lily had multiple miscarriages over 5 years and giuseppe decided they would move to america for better prospects, and stefan was born in mf.

- giuseppe despised anything ‘foreign’, and would lock damon in the cellar when he slipped up. never mind that damon didn’t really know any english.

- named his first horse (a shetland pony) sir handsome. loved his horses. hated people, loved animals.

- bibliophile. brains over brawn.

- gets banned from new orleans every few decades. marcel HATES him. also was in nola in 1914, freya and kol both took pity on him/ befriended damon after he managed to piss off the witches AND marcel in one day.

- always had the most inconvenient crushes as a human. the first was the daughter of some middle class storekeeper when he was eight. the second was emily bennett (his secret bff) and the third was a dude with a horse when he was a teenager. stablehand/riding instructor/ young gent passing through, named sebastian. giuseppe caught the boys fooling around one day and promptly shot sebastian in the head, before beating damon within an inch of his life (WOAH I WROTE THIS SO CASUALLY). damon never fully recovered.

- finds grimoires to bring to his favourite witch at the time. often the spells are super wacky and mostly useless.

- chatty and clingy drunk.

- after augustines, physically cant sleep alone, and half the time wakes up only to realise he’s killed his bedpartner (strangling, decap., suffocation etc.)

- in the 30s, he became a professional dancer.

stefan

- fav colour is an icy, glacial blue.

- nobody knows what his first language is. His first few words were either Italian or French, but it’s not certain which one. of course, giuseppe locked damon in the cellar for that.

- first horse was sir handsome, a hand-me-down from damon. loved both people and animals, but most of all loved when damon was introducing him to the animals.

- actually the cutest little child ever. big green eyes and floppy blonde-ish hair. looked like a five-year-old until he was 13? 14? and then suddenly shot up really quick.

- bull in a china shop. brawn over brains.

- the ‘ripper’ was created by lexi. she isolated and abused stefan, manipulating him into whatever she wanted.

- chronic migraine sufferer.

- as a human, he physically could not eat when nervous, which just so happened to be 80% of the time.

- rarely gets drunk but is a very outgoing and slutty drunk.

- lizard brain blood lusty ripper stefan only speaks italian.

- model aeroplane / train / car kind of guy.

- tumbled down into a well twice as a human.

- built the engine for the first automobile, passed it onto henry ford.

enzo

- likes the challenge of getting his way without resorting to compulsion (which is cheating.)

- has the stickiest fingers. he didn’t become a little street urchin in london without picking up some skills.

- turned by jack the ripper in 1888. approached him mid-murder.

- physically incapable of hating damon. and believe me, he’s tried.

- after augustines, physically cant sleep alone, and half the time wakes up only to realise he’s killed his bedpartner (strangling, decap., suffocation etc.)

klaus

- went to college a few times to study art. ended up stabbing the teacher [with a paintbrush] because they critiqued his work.

- was tsar nicholas 2 as a joke, purposely ended the dynasty.

elijah

- slipped ecstasy into klaus’ drink in the 80s just to see what would happen.

rebekah

- had a habit of accidentally wandering as a kid.

- clairvoyant / clairsentient.

- very partial to throwing knives.

kol

- bffs with charles 2, gets knighted (inspired by that episode of parks and rec where ben and andy meet the rich british guy)

- refers to stefan as klaus’ estranged paramour

- mixes vervain and wolfsbane into joints and such to get klaus to chill the fuck out. and mixing vervain into other drugs and stuff so that they’d affect him - damon joins the operation in 1914.

- was jack the ripper in 1888, saw a man drowning in his own blood in an alleyway, just watching as kol disemboweled a prostitute, before approaching him like ‘please sir, can you spare any change?’ and kol was delighted.

- damon pissed off marcel in 1914 and kol decided at that moment they were best friends.

- BIG fan of the ottoman empire. it only collapsed because kol was daggered.

- has grimoires full of odd spells.

alaric

- owns vervain coated knuckle dusters

- basically begs damon to talk history with him.

elena

- pre-accident: queen bee and she knew it. at her core, she is self-centred and used to getting her way. this only changes with her parents’ accident, but eventually elena reverts back into her old self.

- refers to katherine as her identical grandmother

[ - bitchy stares. not even an rbf, her face is just super expressive and you can tell when she’s judging you ]

caroline

- was second to elena all her life, and elena knew how to fuel that envy of caroline’s. but then elena’s parents died and caroline was finally #1, except stefan shows up and it’s back to the elena show again.

[ - well-meaning but tone deaf ]

both elena and caroline are just those bitchy popular girls.

[ bonnie ]

[ i have so many for her but a lot are completely against canon so here’s the ones that could be ]

[ - best cheerleader on the squad // the older girls adopted her as their flyer from day 1 ]

[ - because she’s tiny, yanno? ]

[ - known as the ‘i dunno her but she seems nice’ one, the ‘quiet, seems really sweet but i think she hates me’ one and ‘elena’s minion’ ]

[ - but she’s actually more popular overall ‘cause she does all the volunteering / xtra curricular stuff with caroline and she’s not in your face about it ]

[ - has very weirdly specific daily rituals as to what she eats and when on which day (waffle wednesday), what pyjamas she wears, how her pillows are arranged, etc. ]

[ - she didn’t even notice she did all of that until she was at a sleepover and the other kid’s mum made a different breakfast to what she would usually have on that day and bonnie was like ‘hmm. i seem to be uncomfortable with this. why is that?’ but sucked it up and ate her breakfast without saying anything ]

Ron Ayers

Engineer and aerodynamicist involved in land-speed record-breaking cars and guided missile design

Working at the Handley Page company, and then in the guided weapons division of the Bristol Aeroplane Company (now part of BAE Systems), in the 1950s and 60s, the engineer and aerodynamicist Ron Ayers, who has died aged 92, became one of Britain’s most experienced supersonic and high-speed aircraft designers.

Following retirement in 1988, he took on a volunteer role at the Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, and was fascinated to discover, among the aviation archives held there, aerodynamic and wind tunnel work on the prewar generation of land-speed record-breaking cars. This led to Ayers meeting Ken Norris, designer (with his brother Lew) of Donald Campbell’s Bluebird car and jet-powered boat. With these two vehicles, in 1964, Campbell had achieved world records, for land speed of 403.1mph (648.73 km/h), and for water speed of 276.3mph (444.71km/h).

Norris had also been manager of more recent world-record-breaking runs by the self-styled “adventurer and engineer” Richard Noble with Thrust, a car that gained a world record of 633mph (1018.7 km/h) in the Nevada desert in 1983. When Ayers bumped into Noble by chance, while they were both passing through Bournemouth airport in 1992, he found that Noble’s next project was the Thrust SSC, a jet-powered “car” intended to break the sound barrier on land – at a speed of about 767mph. “Don’t be an idiot – you’ll kill yourself,” Ayers said.

The problem is that a land-speed car is an “interface vehicle” running between air and earth. Designing a stable supersonic shape for that regime is quite different to making an aircraft or missile that could achieve supersonic flight safely in free air. On land, where would the supersonic shock waves around the vehicle go and how might they upset it? What would the airflow underneath it be like and how might it lift or destabilise it? There were no precedents. But, intrigued by the challenge, Ayers mulled over the problem and, a little later, got back to Noble saying that he thought he could see a way to do it.

There are no wind tunnels capable of modelling this situation, but between them, they called in favours and all their contacts to win time for day-long simulations that ran on Britain’s most powerful supercomputer (a Cray machine), in parallel with physical experiments with a scale model attached to an 800mph rail-mounted rocket sledge at the Defence Research Agency’s establishment at MOD Pendine in Wales.

The research paid off, and on 15 October 1997 the RAF pilot Wg Cmdr Andy Green finally achieved a supersonic world record of 763.035mph (1,227.986 km/h) in Thrust SSC – a record that still stands.

Ayers was born in London, the son of Frederick Ayers, an engineer, and his wife, Maud (nee Jardine). To escape bombing during the second world war, in 1940 the family, and Frederick’s factory, moved to Barnstaple in Devon. Deemed not suitable for university, due to chronic childhood ear infections (alleviated with the advent of penicillin) and an interrupted education, Ron went straight into the Handley Page company in 1950 as an engineering apprentice, where he worked on the Victor bomber project. This also allowed him “day release” to gain a degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of London. He then won a scholarship to study for an MSc at Cranfield College of Aeronautics (now Cranfield University).

Britain had some of the most technically advanced aircraft companies in the world and Handley Page was one of the most esteemed, at the forefront with an exceptionally advanced aerodynamic design team. Its Victor bomber became central to the V force – Britain’s cold war deterrent. These aircraft had been devised to evade interception by flying faster and higher than any aircraft before.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of aerodynamic science to national policy at the time. Cold war aircraft development was a contest of the brightest minds to achieve unprecedented performance in the tricky transonic regime – the speed range approaching the speed of sound. As the new postwar generation of military aircraft approached that speed, the airflow over them could be mixed – flowing in a familiar, well understood way in some areas, but becoming supersonic over parts where the air accelerated.

This supersonic (incompressible) flow was a new, little studied, phenomenon, and it posed fresh problems in stability, control and structural integrity. The whole industry was supported closely by the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, Hampshire (and at Bedford). This was probably the biggest research enterprise in Europe in those years.

This was the milieu in which Ayers developed – solving problems that the feasibility of Noble’s supersonic car would recall. The national deterrent policy back then was to devise near-supersonic bombers that could outfly the fighter defences, exploiting speed, height and the limitations imposed by radar warning time. But at the same time, the aim was to create home defences that could catch anything similar developed by an enemy.

As part of this war of innovation, the Bristol company was developing the Bloodhound guided missile, intended to destroy incoming enemy aircraft, so it is intriguing that Ayers in 1956 joined the Bristol’s guided weapons division, becoming chief aerodynamicist. The revised Bloodhound Mk II that he worked on was a highly effective missile intended to destroy bombers attacking Britain, capable of reaching 65,000ft (nearly 20,000 metres) at more than twice the speed of sound. It went into service “to defend the deterrent” – the V-bomber force that Ayers had originally contributed to in his first job.

However, on the death of his father, Ayers left aeronautics and in 1967 took over the family business, which made printing presses, remaining with the company until it was sold in 1988.

In retirement, as well as volunteering at Brooklands, Ayers was actively involved in promoting engineering education, and he viewed the Thrust SSC record-breaking attempts as valuable publicity to showcase engineering and its intrinsic interest. Subsequently, he was chief aerodynamicist for the JCB 2006 Dieselmax car, which still holds the world diesel car record of over 350mph (560 km/h), and also for the projected 1,000mph Bloodhound car.

All this highly original work done in the later decades of Ayers’s life was, he said, “much more fun than mowing the lawn”.

Ayers married Irene Graham, a psychologist, in 1968. She died in 1991 and he is survived by their son, Roger, and granddaughters, Lily-May and Daisy.

Ούτοι γυναικός εστιν ιμείρειν μάχης.**

- Aeschylus

Surely it is not for a woman to long for battle.**

Maureen Dunlop flew far faster planes than any of her peers, including Amelia Earhart. She flew Spitfires, Lancasters, Hurricanes and Mosquitos, and proved the dream of Picture Post's photographer when, on emerging from the cockpit of a Fairey Barracuda, the sun on her hair, she made the cover shot of the popular Picture Post that sold thousands of copies in autumn 1944.

Dunlop mastered the controls of 28 different single-engine and 10 multi-engine aircraft types, which also included the Hawker Typhoon, Hawker Tempest, Avro Anson, Mustang, Bristol Blenheim and Vickers Wellington. The ATA did a gruelling day-to-day job, plying the skies under constant threat from inclement weather the length and breadth of Great Britain, at a time when the nature of flying was changing in popular consciousness from having been a pre-war novelty and the subject of record attempts and joyrides, to being a vital part of the war effort.

The women among its members also had to put up with opposition from men who had little faith in their ability – or perhaps misplaced chivalry – such as Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, who would not let women pilots cross the Channel, or who were merely rude, such as the RAF men who joked of the first all-women aircraft ferrying pool at Hamble in Hampshire as "the lesbians' pool".

Dunlop, like many of her female colleagues, said she wished she could have flown in combat: "I thought it was the only fair thing. Why should only men be killed?"

The ATA service had been founded on the initiative of Gerard "Pop" d'Erlanger, a director of British Airways and banker, who bent the ear of Sir Francis Shelmerdine, Britain's director-general of Civil Aviation, against opposition from the RAF, which preferred to use its own pilots until shortages forced it to relent. ATA pilots had to make the most of training that was, some avowed after the war, inadequate. Instrument flying was not taught, but the service would have ground to a halt if pilots had not broken rules forbidding them to fly in bad weather. Women had to have a minimum of 500 hours' solo flying before joining the ATA, twice as much as the 250 hours originally laid down in September 1939 for the first members, all men. She was one of the 164 female members of the wartime Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), of which one in ten pilots died while transporting aeroplanes between factories and military airfields

Maureen Dunlop, the second of three children of Eric Chase Dunlop, an Australian farm manager employed by a British company in Argentina, and his English wife, Jessimin May Williams, began flying at the age of 15, when she joined the Aeroclub Argentino. Two years later she had obtained her pilot's licence. Living with her parents, older sister Joan and younger brother Eric on estancias in Patagonia, she was educated by a governess and briefly attended St Hilda's College, an English school at Hurlingham in Buenos Aires. The example of her father's British military experience as a volunteer with the Royal Field Artillery in the First World War, together with an article in Flight magazine, inspired her to sail to England and offer her flying skills to the ATA.

She came through the war uninjured, but once had to make a forced landing when a faulty engine developed heavy vibration (an incident for which she was absolved of responsibility), and once was flying a Spitfire when a badly fitted cockpit cover blew off. After the war she qualified in England as an instructor and, returning to Argentina, flew for the Argentine Air Force and taught its pilots, as well as flying commercially. In 1973 she and her husband, Serban, a retired Romanian diplomat she met at a British Embassy function in Buenos Aires, returned to England, where for the rest of her life, on a farm in Norfolk, she followed her second love - breeding Arab horses. Dunlop built up an outstanding knowledge of bloodlines. She died in 2012.

The Role of Regulatory Authorities in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Education

Aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) are responsible for making sure the aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, and supervising the overhaul, inspection, repair, or modification of an aircraft and its components. As a result, one of the most appealing careers after 10+2 (science) is AME. 

Students are choosing the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering degree because of the expanding breadth and improved employment chances in the field of aircraft maintenance engineers. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of the Indian government issues the AME licence. An AME licence can help individuals find jobs in the aviation industry. Candidates who obtain the licence can work in either private or public aviation sectors anywhere in the globe for far greater pay than they could if they had a degree in the same profession.

AME institutions offering AME degrees have been established in India and certified by the DGCA. Students who have a thorough understanding of aeroplanes are trained at these top DGCA-approved AME Colleges in India. IAE Bhopal is the top government AME College in India for offering the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering programme.

DGCA Approval 

DGCA clearance is required for an AME training institute to operate in India. Students studying aircraft maintenance engineering who attend an AME College approved by the DGCA will have an advantage over those who do not. The DGCA AME licence is one specific type of authorization provided by the DGCA, which is in charge of regulating civil aviation. This agency investigates events and situations about aviation and grants authorization to the companies offering AME training. Students who fulfil the prerequisites can apply for a licence through DGCA, which also conducts the licencing examinations. Without a licence, a student cannot work as an aircraft maintenance engineer.

The DGCA is in charge of all facets of Indian civil aviation in addition to awarding AME licences and certificates. The civil aviation regulatory authority, the DGCA, is primarily concerned with matters concerning aircraft and aviation safety. It oversees the implementation of civil aviation laws, air safety regulations, and airworthiness standards, in addition to regulating airline operations to and from India. The Director General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, has authorised the Institute of Aeronautics & Engineering for the Mechanical and Avionics Category by CAR-147 and CAR-66 regulations.

The Director-General of Civil Aviation is the regulatory agency that grants all licences, permits, and certifications to engineers, pilots, training centres, and maintenance facilities. Additionally, maintenance tasks including servicing, upgrading, evaluating, testing, and installation, among others, may only be performed by authorised engineers working in an approved, recognised, as well as legally licenced aircraft maintenance facility.

The Institute of Aeronautics & Engineering, Bhopal is a researcher and innovator in the field of aviation technology. In 2002, our Institute was granted permission by the Government of India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation to provide courses in aircraft maintenance engineering. A DGCA-accredited institution may provide an AME education, and IAE Bhopal is one of the best AME schools in India with this certification. These accredited schools offer curricula that have been authorised by the DGCA and administer tests to verify programme completion.

If you wish to earn by flying an airplane you need to acquire a license. You can fly for both commercial and private purposes if you have a CPL. By finishing their CPL training, pilots will keep developing their skills. A Commercial Pilots Licence Australia may fly an aircraft as pilot-in-command for pay or hire and transport people or things for pay or hire. To put it another way, having a commercial pilot's license signifies that you can work as a pilot for compensation.

The following are the minimal prerequisites for a CPL:

At least 18 years old, Class 1 Aviation medical, and ICAO English Grade 4 are needed, at the absolute minimum. A commercial Pilot Licence Australia requires a minimum of 165 flight hours overall, in addition to the previously listed qualifications, but this number varies from country to country.

Career options after obtaining a commercial pilot's license

This all needs to be re-written – delete all below and use headings as follows – please add some description of each job

Charter Pilot

Flying Instructor

Business Jet Pilot

Agricultural / Crop Dusting pilot

Tour guide pilot

Airline pilots for regional, domestic, International  or freight airlines

Cargo pilot

Air Ambulance pilot

Banner towing pilot

Pilot for skydivers

Pilot for police force, emergency services

Pilot for fire fighting

The military is another option. They perform the duties of test pilots, flying new prototypes and testing aircraft. A pilot may also collaborate with famous people or businessmen.

An experimental test pilot is tasked with testing freshly constructed and modified aircraft that have been fitted with certain equipment known as flight test procedures. This Pilot Licence Australia has additional flying training.

Co-Pilot: A co-pilot is an officer who assists the pilot while he or she is in the air. This assistance includes managing radio communications, providing navigational assistance, and collaborating with the pilot to complete various flight-related checklists. In the lack of a cockpit, the pilot can operate the vehicle as a co-pilot while taking turns.

Pilots who are stationed at their bases are under the supervision of the chief pilot. This covers preparation, traveling, and personal issues. On union-related matters and disciplinary actions, a chief pilot represents the business. He or she also does administrative tasks and maintains flight equipment.

Captain: The person in charge of the safe and effective operation of the aircraft is known as the airline captain. He or she must make sure that all details about the intended route, the weather, the passengers, and the aircraft are properly received. This data must be used by the skipper to plan flights.

Commuter Pilot: These days, it's not unusual for a pilot to choose a job in the region where they were born. This is mostly done to ensure that the pilot may continue to go to his or her favorite location to fulfill personal, familial, financial, and any other obligations that place a certain destination as a must.

First Officer: The first officer is the captain's available second-in-command and a certified commander officer. If the captain becomes incapacitated, the first officer will assume control of the aircraft.

Airlines often require that applicants have a minimum of a Commercial Pilots Licence Australia with Multi Engine Endorsement and Instrument Rating. These credentials are supplied by the most well-liked courses among students, the Australian National Airline College Diploma Commercial Pilot Licence-Aeroplane and the Aviation Course Diploma.

de Havilland DH51 'G-EBIR' by Alan Wilson Via Flickr: c/n 102 Built 1924. Only three DH51s were built and this is the only survivor. She is owned and operated by the Shuttleworth Collection and I believe she could be the oldest airworthy de Havilland aeroplane. Seen displaying at the collection’s ‘Flying Festival of Britain’ airshow. Old Warden, Bedfordshire, UK. 6th June 2021 The following info is from the collection website:- "The DH 51 is regarded as the true ancestor of the highly successful Moth series of aeroplanes. In 1923 the Air Ministry was encouraging aircraft designers to produce ultra light aeroplanes for the civil market, however the de Havilland company also decided to make a much larger, more practical touring aeroplane. This design led to the production of the DH51, it was a two bay biplane with a plywood covered fuselage and fabric covered wings. It was originally powered by the readily available RAF 1A eight cylinder engine. The DH 51 was designed to allow two passengers to fly in comfort from small fields, but there was provision for a third passenger on a foldaway canvas seat ahead of the front cockpit. When the third seat was used the plywood decking at the front moved forward to allow the extra passenger to be seated. The first flight of the prototype was made on July 1 1924, but the Air Ministry refused to grant a C. of A. because of the RAF engines single ignition, to overcome this the aircraft was fitted with the more powerful Airdisco engine. This gave the aircraft a much improved performance, but increased the cost. This led to only three DH 51's being built, G-EBIM, G-EBIQ and G-EBIR. 'Miss Kenya' was the last DH 51 built (constructor's number 102) by de Havilland's in 1925 for John Carberry and shortly afterwards she was shipped out to Mombasa for her new owner. She flew for the first time in Africa on April 4th 1926. In February 1927 John Carberry made his longest flight in 'Miss Kenya' from Nairobi to Kisimu and back. This journey was made to pick up the Director of Civil Aviation, Sir Sefton Brancker. In June 1928 Tom Campbell Black, G. Skinner and A. Hughes bought the aircraft and on September 10th 1928 'Miss Kenya' became the first aircraft to be registered in Kenya, hence the name. At first registered as G-KAA, but the registration system was then changed to make 'Miss Kenya' VP-KAA. She was bought in 1933 by D.A.G. Onslow and was flown until 1937. She remained stored in Africa during the war, but was re-erected and flown again after the war by G.F. Baudet. He presented it to the RAF but wrote off the undercarriage and caused other damage when landing in gusty conditions at the end of the ferry flight in June 1951. 'Miss Kenya' then remained derelict in a hangar until late 1954 when it was bought by J.S. Le Poer Trench, who rebuilt her. She then flew again in 1955 and was displayed at many air displays. In 1962 she was donated to the Shuttleworth Collection. In 1965 she was loaded onto a Blackburn Beverley and flown back to England where she was restored by the Aircraft Wing of the REME Apprentice College at Avlonfield and by Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Chester. On 23rd March 1973 'Miss Kenya' arrived at Old Warden and the first flight after restoration was made later that month. 'Miss Kenya' has been flying at Old Warden ever since, making it the oldest airworthy de Havilland design. Height: 9ft 9in Length: 26ft 6in Wingspan: 37ft 0in Engine: one 120hp Airdisco V8"

Stephen Salter, who has died aged 85, was the inventor of the Salter’s Duck, a wave-power device that was the first of its kind and promised to provide a new source of renewable energy for the world – until it was effectively killed off by the nuclear industry.

In 1982, after eight years of development under Salter’s direction at Edinburgh University, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) was asked by the government to see if the duck might be a cost-effective way of making large quantities of electricity. To the great surprise of Salter, and others, the UKAEA came to the conclusion that it was uneconomic, and that no further government funding should be given to the project.

A decade later it emerged that thanks to a misplaced decimal point, the review had made Salter’s duck look 10 times more expensive than the experiments showed it was likely to be. The UKAEA claimed this was just a mistake, but Salter, who had never been allowed to see the results of the secret evaluation, put it another way: asking the nuclear industry to evaluate an alternative source of energy was like putting King Herod in charge of a children’s home, he suggested.

By then, however, Salter had become interested in other projects, and as a result his duck has never been tested at sea – although wave-power devices using some of his technology are now in development in the Orkneys and off the coast of Portugal.

The prototype ducks, developed in a multidirectional wave tank of Salter’s invention, are now in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, where there are a number of other exhibits with links to him, including the only remaining Black Knight rocket, a UK ballistic missile from the 1950s, and Freddy the Robot, from the 60s, the first machine to have artificial intelligence that could “see” and had a sense of touch. He also invented the Dervish, a low-cost method of clearing landmines, by using a revolving three-wheeled mechanism with a constantly changing path.

Perhaps the range of those projects sums up Salter’s mind better than anything else. Colleagues who worked with him said that while other scientists concentrated for years on one subject to the exclusion of all others, Salter was fascinated by new problems.

Although it was the oil shock of 1973 that first stimulated his interest in renewable energy, he later became one of the first scientists to realise the dangers of climate change. Doubting that the slow pace of cutting fossil-fuel use would be enough to save the planet from dangerous overheating, at the turn of the 21st century he set up a scheme to develop marine cloud brightening – an idea to produce more and brighter clouds in the middle of the oceans in order to reflect sunlight back into space, thereby keeping the oceans cooler and reducing sea-level rise.

He designed a project to build a large number of automated ships spraying aerosols from sea water into the atmosphere to create and brighten clouds in the middle of the world’s oceans and – having made a considerable fortune by selling some of his inventions – was able to set up the Lothian School of Technology just outside Edinburgh for £2.4m. The centre provides premises for up to 60 of his students to work on inventions and develop them commercially beyond their time at university.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Stephen was the son of British parents who had emigrated there, Rachel (nee Floyd) and Willoughby de Carle Salter. His father joined the Royal Navy as a meteorologist during the second world war and afterwards the family moved to Britain, where Willoughby became head of a prep school in which Rachel also taught. Stephen attended two boarding schools and then Framlingham college in Suffolk.

By that time he was designing, building and flying model aeroplanes, and his ambition was to take an engineering degree at Cambridge University. But he failed to get good enough grades, instead becoming an apprentice at Saunders-Roe, an Isle of Wight aero- and marine-engineering company, where he was involved in the Black Knight rocket project. After studying at night classes he was finally accepted at Cambridge to study natural sciences including metallurgy.

He moved to Edinburgh University in 1967, aged 29, to become a research fellow working on artificial intelligence in robots. Within six years he was also a lecturer and had begun his work on wave energy. In 1984 he became professor of engineering design.

Perhaps Salter’s left-leaning politics and his willingness to take on the London establishment prevented him from being showered with the honours he deserved, but he was elected to a fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1991, made MBE in 2004, and inducted into the Scottish Engineering Hall of Fame in 2021. He never stopped working, becoming an emeritus professor at retirement age and continuing to research, advise companies and refine his inventions until the end.

He married Margaret Donaldson, a professor of development psychology at Edinburgh University, in 1973. She died in 2020. He is survived by his younger brother, Edmund.

Here's my updated and edited version of Kalpana Chawla's article!

Kalpana Chawla: The First Indian In Space

It’s almost 14 years since Kalpana Chawla left us, but her memory still resides in the heartbeats of millions of Indians. Her sudden demise was a matter of shock for the whole nation as they were waiting with bated breath for the landing of ‘The Colombia' but their wait turn into a moment of horror when the spaceship met with a terrible accident on the re-entry into the earth killing 6 crew members and Chawla in 2003.

• Childhood: Kalpana was born in Karnal, Haryana in the family of Sanjyoti Chawla and Banarasi Lal Chawla on 17th March 1961. She was the youngest child of her family and was affectionately called Montu. Her family were refugees of the partition, therefore faced tough times while trying to bring stability in the financial area, often opting for various fields of business, even sale of clothes. At last they tried their hand in the tyre manufacturing which turned out to be successful.

Kalpana did her primary education from the Tagore Bal Niketan in Karnal at a time when girls were found more in kitchens than in classrooms. In those times girls made up nearly 10% of the class strength. Her regular attendance and penchant for sketching aeroplanes during art classes from an early age, didn’t get unnoticed by her teachers.

Long before she actually dreamt of navigating the sky, her fascination lay in the vastness of the sky and marvellousness of the stars, she used to gaze at, while lying all down on a cot in the courtyard on summer nights. In an interview with India Today, she said, “The sense of awe for the heavens started here.” When her father noticed her love for flying, he took her to a local flying club, where she got to taste her dream for the first time and that fuelled the passion all the way more.

• Early Education And Obstacles: She completed her bachelors in Aerospace Engineering from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. She had decided of pursuing engineering when she was only 10 years old. When her father got to know about this, he advised her to think about taking up a field which is more ‘feminine' like teaching or medicine to which her response was, “This is what I really want to do.” When she got admitted in the college her teachers too discouraged her from taking the field which was still considered as one of the many domains reserved for the men and got answered by the same set of words. Attending the college in Chandigarh meant moving out of home, another milestone in the era of the normalisation of women ‘settling down' without receiving proper education.

• Shifting To The US: Since she saw no further hope for the Masters in Aerospace Engineering in India, in 1982 she flew to USA to continue education from the University of Texas, Arlington and received her Doctorate Degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1988. Her love was primarily for aeroplanes and chasing horizons through the air, goals always been to work on designing and building high-tech planes. Wanting to become an astronaut was a dream that developed much later.

• Joining NASA: After the completion of her Doctorate course, Kalpana got a job at NASA’s Ames Research Centre, California(ARC). ARC focused on astrobiology, supercomputing, roboting lunar explorations etc. all of which help in NASA’s space missions. Her specific area of research was computational fluid dynamics(CFD) where her job was to devise methods to accurately predict the pattern of air flow around an aircraft. In 1990 she was naturalised as an US citizen. The Challenger Disaster in 1986, where the space shuttle broke apart within 73 seconds after its launch killing all its crews couldn’t discourage Kalpana from applying in NASA space programme. In 1994, she got the opportunity to be a part of their upcoming 16-day microgravity mission. The STS-87 mission abroad the space shuttle Columbia began on November 19th, 1997 with a 6 member crew.

Her duty there consisted of operating a robotic arm to deploy the Spartan satellite used to study the sun in collaborator collaboration with SOHO(Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), a NASA/European spacecraft. Apart from being the mission specialist, she was also responsible for heading several microgravity experiments while on board the spacecraft. The STS-87 orbited the earth 252 times covering 6.5 million miles in 376 hours and 34 minutes.

She talked about the amazing experience she had in this piece upon her return, “When you look at the stars on the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from a particular piece of land, but from the solar system.”

• Columbia Disaster: Her second mission to space as a mission specialist on STS-107 Columbia was on January 16th 2003. The 7 member crew managed to conduct 80 microgravity research experiments on their 16-hour mission clocking in 24 hours a day by working in shifts. When the mission ended, the space shuttle preceded to return back home to Kennedy Space Centre, Florida. During the launch, a piece of shield that protects the spacecraft from heating up on the re-entry came off the wing of the shuttle. On 1st February 2003 on its way back, the heat generated when passing through the earth’s atmosphere destabilised the shuttle and caused it to break up into many pieces. All crew members were instantly killed. With the two missions Kalpana had travelled a total of 30 days, 14 hours and 54 minutes in the space.

• Legacy: “The path from dreams to reality does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get onto it and the preserverance to follow it.”- Kalpana Chawla. She was posthumously awarded the Congressional Space Medal Of Honour, The NASA Space Flight Medal and The NASA Distinguished Service Medal.

Her trajectory of achievements finds no parallel, which is probably why her life inspires so many woman to navigate the space and continue to influence them in the fields of science.
