To anyone who's wondering how is such a feat possible: it's covered in the first few chapters of Dan Raymer's Aircraft Design. Reading it made me appreciate (again) the "old" way of knowledge sharing- books and publications. I'm amazed that it's so under-appreciated tool nowadays.
…things like passenger comfort. lotsoffactors' comments on cargo loading/unloading considerations and the U-2 being a mid-wing aircraft are correct as well. Sources: Aerospace Engineer and Raymer's Aircraft Design textbook (basically the bible of aircraft design).

Daniel Raymer 的《Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach》。该领域的标准教材，但结构清晰、讲解到位，内容足够全面让你觉得覆盖到了所需知识，又不会陷入过于琐碎的细节而让人望而生畏。
Daniel Raymer, Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach The standard textbook in the field, but well organized, well presented, complete enough to feel that the material is covered but not so deep in the weeds as to be intimidating.
我不是专业的飞机设计师，所以水平有限请多包涵。这些是我读 Daniel Raymer 的教材《Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach》总结出来的。难点在于你需要一种能够长时间滞空盘旋、并且能轻松点杀地面目标的飞机。这就必须要求很低的失速速度，从而需要采用……
I'm not a professional airplane designer so bear with me. This is drawn from my reading of the textbook "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach" by Daniel Raymer. The challenge is you want something that can linger and pick at targets on the ground with ease. This necessitates a low stall speed, requiring the use of a…
要是有人好奇这样的壮举是怎么做到的：Dan Raymer 的《Aircraft Design》前几章就讲到了。读这本书让我（再次）体会到了那种“老派”知识传播方式——图书和出版物——的魅力。我很惊讶现在这种方式竟然这么不受重视。

……比如乘客舒适度之类的东西。lotsoffactors 关于货物装卸考量以及 U-2 是中单翼飞机的评论也是对的。资料来源：航天工程师背景，以及 Raymer 的《Aircraft Design》教材（基本上就是飞机设计的圣经）。[1] Daniel Raymer 所著《Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach》（第3版）第 15 章 [2] Raymer 第 11 章
