An interactive graphical interface for an expert airload-planning system

A graphics system is designed and implemented as an adjunct to an expert system for planning aircraft loading. This system is fully integrated with the expert system and is used to illustrate its planned airloads and to modify these loads interactively. Design considerations and key features of the graphics system are discussed. The graphics system has been deployed successfully and now widely accepted as a useful tool for airload planning and execution. Aspects of the system that could be improved are indicated.<
