Description: This is most difficult aircraft to fly and to land. The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-jet engine, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force. Perhaps the most famous spy plane ever built. Why do U2 planes need a chase car? Chase cars and live calling of aircraft altitude are necessary because the landing gear is not designed to absorb the weight of the aircraft when falling from altitudes much above two feet (0.61 m). How high can a u2 fly? She could fly twice the cruising altitude of commercial airliners almost 70,000 feet—high enough to see the curvature of Earth. What is the purpose of a touch and go landing? Touch and go landings are a piloting maneuver that allows pilots to practice repeated approaches to landing, landings, and takeoffs in a short period of time.
