Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-8

INTRODUCE (WIKIPEDIA)

The Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-8 was a supersonic jet fighter developed in the Soviet Union, intended to replace the MiG-21 (originally named MiG-23). Only two prototypes were built in 1960-61. The original MiG-21's air intakes were moved under the fuselage, freeing up the nose where a larger and more powerful radar, able to deliver longer range air-to-air missiles, could be built in. Canards were built to both sides of the nose, in front of the cockpit, (the horizontal stabilizers of MiG-21 were left at their original position).

The two prototypes flew in 1962. On September 11, 1962, the Tumansky R-21F-300 engine, also under development, exploded in midair at a speed of Mach 2.15.[1] Test pilot Georgy Konstantinovich Mosolov, then one of the leading Soviet test pilots, was severely injured by debris from the compressor and had to eject at Mach 1.78.

Due to unsolved technical problems, the aircraft's development was abandoned; some parts were used on the MiG-23, including R-23 missiles and their associated Sapfir-23 radar.

    This thing is awesome, and it’s a relatively unheard of aircraft as well which makes it even cooler!

    Very nice take on this plane! keep it up!
    To my knowledge, the bottom vertical stabiliser is retractable, akin to the mig-23 (hence its development)

    Sonic boom: Reach into 850 knot and it will be ended when you're in 898 knot

    that's miles per hour, not knots. It should start at around mach 0.95, which is aproximately 725 mph at sea level and end at around mach 1.01, which is 770 mph at sea level.
    Looks quite good
