This x-Wing should deliver improvements in the range of the sharklets:

Flight testing of the slightly modified Citation VII will involve on-board pilots in 2023. The new wing then will be put in place. A lidar involving two lasers will be installed simultaneously in the cockpit, making the system able to anticipate turbulence 0.5-1 sec. ahead and move the control surfaces accordingly. Set for the second half of 2024, the flight-test campaign is planned to last about 100 flight hours. It will take place in an area measuring 200 km (124 mi.) in radius from the French Air and Space Force base in Cazaux. Airbus test pilots will conduct the flight-test program from the ground. The wing will be representative of a 52-m wing on a single-aisle aircraft, whereas the A320 family uses a 36-m wing. “All the learnings from the reduced-scale wing on the Citation VII may be applied to a future aircraft wing design, for any platform, using any fuel,” Blanc says. The data would be scaled up by using computational models, such as factoring in the difference in Reynolds number.
