From below
The view you'll actually get from high overhead.
Field marks
- Upturned wingtip blades plus visibly fat engine pods mark it as a neo

Size and shape, to scale
Photos can't hold a consistent scale from shot to shot — these silhouettes are all drawn at the same 10 px = 1 m scale, so the proportions here are trustworthy even though the photos above aren't.
Variant notes
- Upturned wingtip blades (sharklets) standard on all neos
- Larger engine pods than the ceo are the fastest neo/ceo tell
