In 1938 the "Emil" entered production. To improve on the performance allowed by the rather small 600 to 700 hp (520 kW) Jumo, the larger Daimler Benz DB 601A engine was used, yielding an extra 300 hp (220 kW) at the cost of an additional 400 lb (180 kg).
Another aspect of this construction technique was the use of a single, I-section main spar in the wing, mounted closer to the leading edge, forming a stiff D-shaped torsion box with it. Most aircraft of the era used two spars, near the front and rear, but the D-box was much stiffer torsionally, and eliminated the need for the rear spar. The wing profile was somewhere between NACA 2314 and 2315, with a thickness to chord ratio of 14.5%.
