Abstract: A method of fabricating an aircraft structural component for an aircraft includes providing a component precursor with a web and a flange extending from the web, wherein the web has a length, a height which is shorter than the length, a thickness which is shorter than the height, a first end proximal to the flange and a second end distal from the flange, applying tension to the component precursor in a direction parallel to the length of the web and with a magnitude that varies along the height of the web so as to increase the length of the web to different extents between the first end of the web and the second end of the web, sectioning the component precursor, and releasing the tension to allow shaping of the component precursor into a form required for the aircraft structural component.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an aircraft structural component for an aircraft includes providing a component precursor with a web and a flange. The web has a length, height shorter than the length, thickness shorter than the height, first end proximal to the flange and second end distal from the flange. A force is applied to the component precursor with a magnitude varying along the web height from a minimum at one of the first and second ends to a maximum at another of the first and second ends to increase length of the web to different extents. Then shaping the component precursor includes curving the component precursor into a curved shape having a first radius of curvature at the one of the first and second ends and a second radius of curvature at the another of the first and second ends, the second radius of curvature greater than the first.
