Very practical method for shape definition has been used at SAAB Aircraft Co, Linkoping, Sweden for more than 20 yr; shape is treated mathematically throughout, and all data from mathematical definition are delivered in coordinate tables; outer surface of aircraft is divided in different segments in suitable way and equations of longitudinal and sectional boundary curves are chosen to be as simple as possible; method described is fully applicable even if computer is not available.
