The Mig-8 was a pusher propeller, that also had a swept wing and canard nose mounted foreplanes. It was an experimental configuration and only about 8 were made to explore making a stall proof plane. (basically with a swept main wing at the rear and canards at the front the canards stalled first which lowered the nose which increased speed and helped recover from the stall. Conventional designs with the “canards” at the rear make the nose climb and make the stall worse till the main wing stalls and the plane falls from the sky. The Mig-8 was a very easy aircraft to fly and with a tricycle undercarriage was easy to land and take off with too.
