But the X has the range to cross the country at top speed, and that's what many passengers want.
When you buy the fastest airplane available, why throttle back?
But there are trips that require longer range than the X's typical 3,000 miles. And there are warm temperatures aloft that rob cruise efficiency from any jet.
As many jet makers have shown, the way to improve on both of those situations is with carefully designed winglets, and now the X can have them.
A winglet is actually a very clever way to make a wing behave as though it has greater span without adding all of the structural loads the longer span requires.
Winglets are not a free lunch, but they can pay for themselves in terms of fuel savings and avoiding en route fuel stops.
The modern jet wing is much like a glider's, with long span and narrow chord.
