The Ilyushin Il-8 was a Soviet ground-attack aircraft developed by Ilyushin to replace the Ilyushin Il-2. The first two prototypes were significantly faster than the older aircraft but proved to be less maneuverable. It was redesigned incorporating many features of what would become the Ilyushin Il-10 but proved to be inferior to that aircraft in testing. It was not ordered into production.
Made by Ilyushin.
It is the successor of the Ilyushin Il-2 .
