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.
