Myasishchev M-60

The Myasishchev M-60 was a Soviet design for a nuclear-powered bomber. The design was similar to the M-50 bomber prototype.

Myasishchev received the instruction to start the development of the M-60 on 19 May 1955.^[1]

It appears that the M-60 designation has been used for a number of projects at Myasishchev,^[2] including a recent transport and civil aircraft.^[3]
