Charles F. Taylor
CAMBRIDGE -- Charles Fayette Taylor Sr., who helped develop the internal combustion engine used in aircraft, has died of pneumonia and congestive heart failure at the age of 101.
Mr. Taylor was the engineer in charge of the Army's Air Service Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, in the 1920s, where he supervised aircraft flight tests. There he met Orville Wright and was made director of airplane engine design and development at Wright Aeronautical Engine Corp., where he helped develop the engine used on the historic flight of Charles A. Lindbergh.
Born in 1894 in New York, he read as a boy about the Wright brothers' flights in 1904 and 1905. Mr. Taylor received a degree in mechanical engineering in 1915 from Yale and served during World War I as an inspector of aircraft material for the U.S. Signal Corps. After three months, he was put in charge of the Navy's Aeronautical Engine Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
After working with the Wrights, Mr. Taylor became an associate professor of aeronautical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1926. He became head of aeronautical engineering in 1923 and was the first director of the Sloan Laboratory for Aircraft and Automotive Engines.
Mr. Taylor's book, "The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice," remains a primary reference for automotive engineers. He also wrote an autobiography, "Growing Up with the Twentieth Century."
After his retirement from MIT in 1960, Mr. Taylor became a sculptor in metal and a painter.
Asked by an interviewer about turning 100, he said: "I don't recommend it," but added that he had lived to see Halley's Comet twice.
Mr. Taylor, who died Saturday, is survived by his wife, Alice Hickley, 98; a son, seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service is planned for the fall.

Irving P. Krick, 89
PASADENA, Calif. -- Irving P. Krick, pioneering meterologist and rainmaker who predicted the crucial weather forecast that signaled the massive Allied D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II, has died. He was 89.
Mr. Krick, who established a Meterology Department at California Institute of Technology, died yesterday at his home in Pasadena.
As an Army colonel, Mr. Krick left Cal Tech in the early days of the war to head the Weather Information Section of the U.S. Strategic Air Forces in Europe. His forecasts were necessary to enhance the success of Allied bombing runs.
Mr. Krick and five others -- two from the British Air Ministry, two from the British Admiralty and Lt. Col. Ben Holzman, Mr. Krick's associate at Cal Tech -- were assigned to find Allied Commander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower a three-day window of relatively calm weather for the invasion.
Worried by unseasonal storms lashing the Northern Atlantic, the forecasters finally made the call: "The only three days this month that you can do it will be June 6, 7 and 8." Gen. Eisenhower nodded, and June 6 was inscribed in world history as D-Day.
Which one of the six men actually risked the precise prediction has become as controversial as Mr. Krick's entire career of making long-range forecasts and seeding clouds to make rain. Many credit one of the Britons. But Victor Boesen, who wrote the 1978 book "Storm: Irving Krick vs. the U.S. Weather Bureaucracy," flatly concluded: "Ike's decision to invade was based on Mr. Krick's forecast."
Even before the U.S. entered the war, Mr. Krick observed that Germany was succeeding against European adversaries because of its ability to forecast "bombing and tank" weather accurately.
Born in San Francisco, Mr. Krick was a child prodigy concert pianist, performing around the Bay Area in his early teens. He earned a bachelor's degree in physics at University of California, Berkeley, and then went to Cal Tech for one of the nation's first master's and doctoral degrees in meteorology.
Urged by university officials, in 1934 Mr. Krick established a Meterology Department as a branch of Cal Tech's Aeronautics Department.
Two years later, he set up one of the first private meteorological consulting firms, and Hollywood immediately signed on as his first client. Mr. Krick was hired to predict the night for the burning of Atlanta in "Gone with the Wind."
Always a maverick, Krick based his forecasts -- for weeks, months or even years -- on historic weather patterns. He was one of the first meterologists to use computers in making long-range predictions. The National Weather Service and most of the 100 or so weather consulting companies base forecasts on current weather activity and doubt that reliable long-range forecasts are scientifically possible.
Mr. Krick even condensed data from 55 years of past weather activity into a simplified slide-rule gadget designed to be sold for home weather predicting.
In 1948, Mr. Krick left Cal Tech to devote full time to his consulting firm, Irving P. Krick Associates, Inc. He sold the company to Strategic Weather Services in 1990, remaining involved as chairman emeritus.
"Weather is my life," Mr. Krick told the Los Angeles Times in 1985. "If I retired, I'd be dead the next day."
