I found four drones that are rated IP55 and fly 40 minutes or more. None of the drones I found has a rating higher than IP55, so these four meet your requirement exactly.

How they differ for line inspection:
- Skydio X10: A compact drone built for inspection, with interchangeable visual and thermal sensor packages. skydio.comskydio.com ↗“compact autonomous drone for inspection, public safety and security with modular visual/thermal sensor packages”
- Skydio X10D: The defense version of the X10. It's built to keep working under electronic interference and has Blue UAS clearance. skydio.comskydio.com ↗“defense variant of the X10 sUAS, built for EW resilience”
- Skydio F10 Lightrunner: A fixed-wing-style drone that flies for a long time and is operated from a MegaDock. skydio.comskydio.com ↗“operated from a MegaDock”

Close but below IP55:
- Quantum-Systems Vector AI flies 180 minutes but is rated IP54. Long enough flight time, but I couldn't confirm the rating: - Draganfly Apex Ultra (45 min) and Microavia Drone-in-a-Box (60 min) both meet the flight time, but I couldn't find an IP rating for either. The Microavia docking station is described as weatherproof, but no rating is given for the drone itself. If rain protection is essential, confirm the drone's IP rating with the maker before considering it. draganfly... +1draganfly.com ↗“drone.max_flight_time_min=45 min”microavia.com ↗“weatherproof docking station” quantum-sy...quantum-systems.com ↗“drone.max_flight_time_min=180 min”
