So yes, Vulkan is kind of the universal graphics API now.
Obviously planes in the future can use cleaner propellants too.
The same propellant (methane) can also be used on planes, eventually, so BFR will bring many technologies advances independently of the outcome of the project.
Planet Labs' Dove satellites aren't much bigger than a typical cube sat (they're like 3 cube sats stacked together), have reaction wheels, and the "wings" have enough lift to be able to control altitude https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.03270.pdf (page 9)
I hope it exists one day... How would it work?
