Which company developed the U-2 plane?

U-2 aircraft was successfully developed in February 1955 by the secret factory under the famous Lockheed Aircraft Manufacturing Company in the United States. U-2 plane is black, with long fuselage, high tail and wide wings. It is equipped with a turbojet engine, and the cockpit can only hold 1 person. The slender outline of the plane makes it look like a glider, and the whole tail is fixed to the fuselage with only three screws. In addition, the U-2 can be completely disassembled and transported to the airport in a transport plane or truck.

As a spy plane, U-2 has two stunts: First, it flies high, and its service ceiling reaches 22,870 meters, which not only exceeds the flying height of any fighter in the world, but even exceeds the range of ordinary surface-to-air missiles. Therefore, U-2 was once considered difficult to shoot down; Second, it is intelligent and can be used not only for photographic reconnaissance, but also for electronic reconnaissance. Equipped with 1 73-B giant aerial camera. If the flying speed is 800 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 20,000 meters and the cruising time is 8 hours, then it can scout an area of 960,000 square kilometers at a time. The photos taken by U-2 are not only clear, but also three-dimensional.
