Prof. Emeritus Alon Gany has been selected to receive the 2025 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Wyld Propulsion Award. This prestigious award recognizes outstanding achievements in developing or applying rocket propulsion systems and is sponsored by the AIAA Electric Propulsion Technical Committee (EPTC), Hybrid Rockets TC (HRTC), Liquid Propulsion TC (LPTC), Nuclear and Future Flight Propulsion TC (NFFPTC), and Solid Propulsion TC (SPTC).

The Wyld Propulsion Award Committee honored Prof. Gany for his “pioneering contributions in propulsion research on metalized propellants, energetic materials, hybrid rockets, ramjets, and scramjets, with sustained excellence in educating generations of propulsion experts.”

Prof. Gany responded, “This is a significant honor, and I am excited to receive the award. My entire academic life has been dedicated to research and teaching in the field of rocket propulsion specifically, and high-speed aeronautical propulsion in general. I appreciate the contributions of every student, scientist, and engineering team member who has worked with me over the years. The award, given by the world’s leading aeronautical society, reflects the highest level of recognition and appreciation.”
