The Lockheed U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed's Skunk Works division in the 1950s. It was designed for intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, particularly during the Cold War. The U-2 is known for its ability to fly at altitudes exceeding 70,000 feet (around 21,000 meters), allowing it to collect detailed imagery and signals intelligence without being easily intercepted by enemy defenses.
