Il-8, S.V.IlyushinL ong-range development of the Il-2 armored attacker.
Size and weight were increased without major changes in design. Four-blade propeller was installed. Main landing gear was replaced
by single-strut one (like on the Il-10), retractable flat-backwards into the well
with 900 turn. This allowed to eliminate wing fairings typical for the
Il-2 and improve the wing quality.
