Title: Kevin J. Kilian: Inventor of an Adaptive Wall-Skin Apparatus
Introduction
Kevin J. Kilian is an inventor associated with Kirkwood, Missouri, and The Boeing Company. His patent work includes an apparatus designed to change a flexible surface’s shape and thereby alter airflow over it.
Latest Patents
Kilian’s listed patent, “Apparatus for Variation of a Wall Skin,” describes a flexible skin formed around parallel flexible rods secured between two end-plates. Sliding mounting structures support the rods, while parallel shape-memory-alloy rods contract when heated. Their contraction buckles the flexible rods and skin, changing the surface shape and the airflow over it. The available information lists 1 patent for Kilian.
Career Highlights
Kilian’s documented invention focuses on combining flexible structural elements with heat-responsive shape-memory-alloy rods. The design offers a way to adjust a surface’s form through controlled contraction, with potential relevance to airflow management. The supplied information identifies The Boeing Company as his workplace but does not provide further details about his role or career history.
Collaborations
The supplied information names James Patrick Dunne and Edward Val White as Kilian’s coworkers. It does not specify whether they collaborated with him on the patent.
Conclusion
Kevin J. Kilian’s listed patent presents an adaptive wall-skin concept that uses heat-responsive rods to reshape a flexible surface and influence airflow.
