The Myasishchev M-60 was a Soviet design for a nuclear-powered strategic bomber, similar to the M-50 bomber prototype. The bureau was told to start development on 19 May 1955, but the aircraft never left the planning stage and the programme was cancelled in 1959. The planned aircraft was to carry a crew of two in a heavily shielded capsule and to use four nuclear-powered turbojets, or alternatively two nuclear engines for cruise with two conventional turbojets for take-off and landing. Estimated performance was about Mach 2 and a range of 25,000 km. The article notes that the designation M-60 was later used for several other Myasishchev projects, including a recent transport and a civil aircraft.
