It has to add some down force. How much? I guess you need a wind tunnel

I think those winglets are cosmetic until you reach a very high speed, that’s when they help down force a bit.

I think you would have to be racing Captain Kirk in the Enterprise before there would be any real "down force!" But then, in space, they would have no effect at all........ :lol:

The C5 body shape creates more down force sooner than the canards could have any effect.
