The François-Xavier Bagnoud Award presented to Dr. William Staruk of Joby Aviation for significant contributions in advancing three-dimensional modeling and wind-tunnel testing of rotors and propellers. He assisted the NASA Joint Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in rotor modeling for the Mars Helicopter Ingenuity, transitioned CFD – computational structural dynamics (CSD) technology to the US Department of Defense (DoD) CREAT-AV program and contributed to the design and development of eVTOL propellers for Aurora and Joby.
