- Definição1
- A part of an aircraft fuselage structure used to give the fuselage its shape and, in some types of structure, to provide a small portion of the fuselage strength. Formers give the fuselage its cross-sectional shape, and stringers, which are channels or angles of sheet metal or metal extrusions, fill in the shape between the formers. Stringers in a semimonocoque fuselage are covered with sheet metal, and in a truss-type fuselage, with fabric.
