The VizCraft problem-solving environment aids aircraft designers during conceptual design of a high-speed civil transport (HSCT). It integrates simulation codes that evaluate a design with visualizations for analyzing a design individually or in contrast to other designs. VizCraft provides a graphical user interface to a widely used suite of simulation and analysis codes for HSCT design, and it provides tools for visualizing the outputs of these codes. So, VizCraft provides an environment that combines visualization and computation, encouraging the designer to think in terms of the overall problem-solving task, not simply using the visualization to view the computation's results.
