Probably provides a little more lift during takeoff and more efficient flight

Better lift during flight and the ability to fit into Code E gates.

Yeah, that makes sense. I expected them to point back up during cruise.

Maybe. I dont see any articles implying they'll serve as winglets at cruising altitude

For anyone. There's hardly leg room for 5'5 people on planes

While there is plenty to criticize Boeing on, this isn't one

Small and amateur compared to Soul Plane

Amazing to compare engine size between a 707 and 777X
