Desktop computers are shown to be convenient and economical when used to:

* Perform parametric studies
* Compute and plot passenger loading curves
* Sum inertia data
* Compute and print weight and moment tables
* Rotate and translate axis data

Cost savings are discussed for a typical weight engineering problem: “Passenger Loading Studies.” Use of a desk top computer with an X-Y plotter resulted in a 93-percent savings in man-hours over a hand-plotted method.
