Dr. Wayne Johnson has been awarded the 2023 Daniel Guggenheim Medal for landmark contributions to vertical flight aeronautics and resulting computational codes enabling the design of tiltrotor aircraft, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and the Mars Helicopter. The Daniel Guggenheim Medal was established in 1929 to honor innovators who make notable achievements in the advancement of aeronautics. Its first recipient was Orville Wright. The medal is jointly sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), SAE International and VFS.
