The Lockheed U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed in the 1950s. Designed for intelligence gathering, it can fly at altitudes over 70,000 feet, allowing it to capture detailed images and data without being easily detected. The U-2 played a crucial role during the Cold War, providing vital information about enemy activities. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, the U-2 has been used by the United States Air Force and other agencies for surveillance missions. Its unique design features long wings and a slender fuselage, enabling it to glide efficiently at high altitudes. The aircraft remains in service today, adapting to modern technological advancements.
