Naming Conventions

MiGs follow the convention of using odd numbers for fighter aircraft. Although the MiG-8 and MiG-110 exist, they are not fighters. The MiG-105 "Spiral" was designed as an orbital intercepter, whose contemporary was the U.S. Air Force's cancelled X-20 Dyna-Soar project.

The NATO Reporting Name convention uses Nicknames starting with the letter "F" for fighters ("B" for bombers, "C" for cargo, etc.).


Fictional

MiGs were the best-known Soviet fighters during the Cold War , and as a result there are a number of fictional MiGs in Western popular culture.
