M-17 Mystic
The M-17 is a single-engined high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft with a high-aspect-ratio wing and a twin-boom tail. The aircraft was first reported in the West in 1982 as the RAM-M, having been seen operating from the Ramenskoye flight test centre (now called Zhukovsky).The M-17 is believed to be powered by a Lotarev D-18T or Soloviev PS-90A turbofan.
M-55
Myasischev's two-engined derivative of the M-17 Mystic, the M-55, was designed to a Soviet air force strategic-reconnaissance specification and is powered by two non-afterburning Soloviev PS-30-V12s, supplying 49kN each. The engine is a derivative of the D-30-F6 used in the MiG-31, with the combustion chamber and turbine modified for subsonic, high altitude flight. Neither the M-17 nor the M-55 are believed to have entered air force service.
