A supermaneuverable U-2 would be... interesting. I wonder if that would reduce pilot workload or increase it? The engineer in me would suggest a robust automatic flight control system system instead, although considering how insane the procurement process can be, I'm admittedly not all that confident it would save money in the long run.
