A
former is a structural member of an
aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the
nose to the
empennage, typically perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to
longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft.
