[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] Planform is an aerospace term meaning the area of the wing. I'm not sure of any other definitions, though I would bet it was meant to relate to that in some way. If we believe that a ship's warp field is based around the shape of the hull itself (as we all should), then the planform could refer to the area of the hull itself or at least that portion off which the field is projected. In such a case, the SV could refer to the type of planform, or essentially, the type of hull. The [i]Intrepid[/i]-class could be the 65th design of that particular type of ship. Now type is up to anyone's guess. Could be scout, fast warp courier, capital ship, long range explorer, etc. I'll try to dig out my AE 101 airplane project from last semester to see if I can get recollect some more details.
