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