Junkers Ju 87 parts that were required to take heavy stress were made of steel. The Ju 87 was fitted with detachable hatches and removable coverings to aid and ease maintenance and overhaul. The designers avoided welding parts wherever possible, preferring moulded and cast parts instead. Large airframe segments were interchangeable as a complete unit, which increased speed of repair.

This gave the Ju 87 considerable advantage on take-off; even at a shallow angle, large lift forces were created through the
