Orville Albert Wheelon (June 12, 1906 – February 9, 1966) was an aeronautical engineer who invented the Verson-Wheelon process for aircraft sheet-metal forming[1] and who was one of the first to use titanium in modern aircraft construction.[2] The latter work earned him the Wright Brothers Medal in 1951.
