The Fouga CM.8 or Castel-Mauboussin CM.8 was a French sailplane of the 1950s most notable in retrospect due to its place in the development of the Fouga Magister jet trainer. The CM.8 was a single-seat aircraft of conventional sailplane design and designed for aerobatics. Two prototypes were built: the CM.8/13 with a 13-metre wingspan and a conventional empennage and the CM.8/15 with a 15-metre wingspan and a V-tail.
