AFT
Teachers' labor organization
Aft means toward or at the rear of a ship or aircraft—the opposite of fore.
The aft cabin is near the stern; to move aft is to head toward the back: The passengers were asked to move aft to balance the plane.
The word appears mainly in nautical and aviation contexts.
