The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-8 (Template:Lang-ru) was a Soviet experimental aircraft of 1945. Nicknamed Utka ("duck"), from the similar name for a duck in French, canard, for a fixed-wing aircraft with a smaller surface forwards and a main lifting surface aftwards on the fuselage, it was a propeller-driven design of an unusual canard configuration, powered by a Shvetsov M-11 five cylinder radial engine, with a pusher propeller.
The aircraft was used as a testbed in developing the swept wing of the MiG-15, and afterwards continued to fly as communications/utility aircraft for the OKB.
Being made of wood and fabric, it was very light and reportedly a favorite among MiG OKB test pilots for its docile, slow-speed handling characteristics.
