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.
