General way is described to define freeform surfaces such as airplane fuselages, wings, fillets, ducts, and other shapes by means of man-machine graphical interaction with computer; discussion centers around philosophy that in preliminary phase of shape description, computer's aid should be enlisted at very beginning and that in this way results of preliminary surface design become first "master dimensions" of airplane directly, without necessity of refairing or other subsequent treatment; example illustrates method.
