The Myasishchev M-55 is a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by the Soviet Union's Myasishchev design bureau. It is similar in both its mission and overall wing design to the American Lockheed U-2 but with a twin boom fuselage and tail surface design. It is a development of the M-17. Differences include two turbofan engines instead of one and greater maximum take-off weight.
