Polish aviation engineer started to design a multi-purpose aircraft in the early 50-ies of the last century. The new aircraft is expected to involve only in training purposes and as a sports aircraft, however, inter alia plane PZL Mielec TS-8 Bies also used for the carriage of passengers and for the transport on its board small cargo (as a courier service ).

The shape of the aircraft fuselage has a good aerodynamic component that using a sufficiently powerful propulsion system allows the aircraft to develop a high speed of its movement. Moreover, good aerodynamics allows the aircraft to be controlled well enough, but also gives him a good maneuverability that does is important, especially considering the fact that the aircraft is used as a sports aircraft.

The plane PZL Mielec TS-8 Bies made its first flight in July of the year 1955, however, the aircraft initially could not pass all the required tests, therefore the air designers from the company WSK PZL-Mielec were forced to refine the design and technical part of the aircraft. In 1956, the PZL Mielec TS-8 Bies aircraft underwent its secondary tests, which were successfully completed, so that from the 1957 year the aircraft was produced serially. It should be clarified that the production of the PZL Mielec TS-8 Bies aircraft was very short, however, for the period from 1957 to 1960, an 251 aircraft was built, indicating a certain popularity of this aircraft.

In the cockpit of the aircraft PZL Mielec TS-8 Bies can accommodate two people - a pilot and one passenger while on board an aircraft and can also accommodate a small number of goods, but rather it is about the courier cargo delivery. Among other things, the aircraft PZL Mielec TS-8 Bies has paired control system, which ensures a utility as the training aircraft.
