I haven't been able to find the Ultralite's dimensions, though it appears to be bigger than the XL1--which means so will its drag area. Overall drag might be comparable to the Sagitta.
The Ultralite seats four people, while the XL1 staggered the two seats by 18" so the passenger can be tucked in closer and behind the driver's seat. It offset the people's hips. The XL1 frontal area is a mere 1.5m / 16.15 sq ft so it is tiny, and low drag.
