When the initial design of special complexity has caused the tail part of the fuselage with a large cargo door. Even I had to build a model of the tail section to scale 1:10 and only then choose the final version of the hatch. In just one year - from January to December 1954 g. - EDO staff coped with the challenge and designed AN-8.
The plane is a metal monoplane with high wing, elevated aft fuselage, vertical tail surfaces and tricycle landing gear. The aircraft fuselage was divided into four compartments, front and aft crew with the shooter were sealed. Sex and the bead cockpit equipped armor thickness 8 mm, and pilots seats have bronespinki and bronezagolovniki. Four-wheel bogie main landing gear hidden in streamlined nacelles, It was in the bottom of the fuselage. Low pressure pneumatic wheels allows you to operate the aircraft on unpaved airfields. The defensive armament comprises two feed guns AM-23 with the sighting-computing unit. Loading and unloading of self-propelled vehicles produced under its own power, and self-propelled - using a tractor or electric winch, located outside the aircraft.

Serial AN-8 equipped with two turbo-propeller engines AI-20D chetyrehlopastnym screw with variable pitch in flight, feathered, a diameter of five meters. In early February, 1955 g. aircraft was built and handed over to the test. 11 February 1955 g. aircraft, a crew led by a test pilot FRI YA.I. Vernikovym, It made its first flight. The first prototype of the aircraft AN-8 was powered by two turboprop TV-2T capacity 6500 e.l.s. Past trials have ended successfully, and the car launched into production. Aircraft was built at the Tashkent aviation plant with 1958 by 1961 city, which was released 151 a car.
One of the production machines 1963 g. passed modification to install two powder accelerators SPRD-159 with a thrust of 4300 kgf. The accelerators were installed in the rear fuselage aft cabin under the hatch. They are automatically included in the job in case of failure of one engine. Modified An-8RU passed state tests, but 16 September 1964 g. takeoff with simulated failure of one engine plane crashed, killing all crew members.
