The X-wing is one of the most well-balanced starfighter to ever exist in the Star Wars
universe the T-65 received legendary recognition throughout the galaxy for being the primary
dogfighter to take out the empire and win as the year went by the X-wing went through several
iterations and improvements when comparing the X-wing and Tie fighters are similar in size
while the x-wing starfighter has a very powerful shield a repair robot and an auxiliary light
support system the tie fighter has none of those things but can be mass-produced
and cheaper to maintain the X-wing is also more durable than the Tie fighters
instead, the Tie fighter pilot has to rely on the suit life support system during a fight
the rebel alliance built the x-wing with quality in mind and not quantity so the x-wing naturally
were designed to be much more durable than the imperial counterparts let's start with one of the
earliest X-wing the Z-95 headhunter also referred to as the Z-95 was a multi-purpose starfighter
jointly manufactured by the Incom Corporation and sub-light product corporation the clone
z-95 starfighter was manufactured during the reign of the galactic republic specifically
tailored for the use of the clone troopers pilot of the republic navy due to its design
it amassed a reputation for speed and flexibility more so than his cousin the Arc-170 starfighter.
Despite being considered outdated the Z-95 was doable and adaptable to a variety of different
situations that led many to recognize it as a versatile and respectable starfighter
of its era, it has a total length of 16.7 meters or 55 feet with a width of 18 meters or 59 feet.
It has a maximum atmospheric speed of 1150 kilometers per hour
the Z95 was equipped with two pairs of Incom 2a fusion engines and was originally
manufactured without the hyperdrive but it was later retrofitted with a basic system
because it lacks an astromech socket his pilot was forced to pre-program hyperspace destination.
Despite these drawbacks, the Z-95 features an internal environmental control and a pair of
wingtip mounted high power blaster cannons the starship is also equipped with concussion muscle
launcher and the ceiling-mounted ion cannons which were capable of penetrating deflector shields.
The aggressive reconnaissance 170 starfighter also simply known as the arc Arc-170 starfighter
was a heavy-duty starfighter used by the galactic republic during the clone wars
and was unique in design compared to traditional X-wing generally manufactured by the Incom
corporation and support it was still used during the reign of the galactic empire
but was eventually phased out by the newer and more efficient tie fighters
It contained a hyperdrive and propelled itself in real space utilizing two powerful engine systems,
it had a shorter length of 12.71 meters or 42 feet and has a wingspan of 20 meters or 65 feet
It can move at several different speeds its hypersonic speed is like 1000 kilometers per hour
and a maximum atmospheric speed of 2600 kilometers per hour with a light speed of 100 mega lights.
What made the Arc 170 unique was this man by a crew of three clone operators, a pilot, a forward
gunner who operated the wingtip mounted lasers and a tail gunner who operates the back-mounted cannons
during battle, the craft S-foil opened to expose heatsink and radiated to help cool the ships
in addition, the fighter also carried an astromech droid to perform on-board repair and navigation it was
also possible for the pilot to operate the wingtip laser cannon if the co-pilot wasn't available
and the two main four medium laser cannons located on the underside of the outer wings
its laser cannon can punch through a capital ship's armor furthermore
proton torpedo launcher increased the craft's usefulness in the ship to ship combat
and added to his already extensive weapons and its ability to serve as a bomber
many lessons were learned from the performance of the Z-95 headhunter and the powerful Arc-170
starfighter these improvements were incorporated to the T-65b X-wing starfighter iconic design
not only did it become the backbone of the rebel alliance its design as a fighter with
both the speed and power to take on the imperial star destroyer was realized.
The T-65b X-wing starfighter was a single seat crafted manufactured by the income corporation
and used by the alliance to restore the republic during the galactic civil war
known for his speed and maneuverability in battle it became the backbone of the rebel alliance
starfighter it has a length of 13.4 meters or 44 feet with a width of 11.7 meters or 38 feet
It has a maximum acceleration of 3700 g
and a maximum atmospheric speed of 1000 kilometers per hour with a hyper-speed at 100 megalight.
the crop was on with four laser cannons placed at the tip of each wing
and two proton torpedo launchers the T-65b X-wing distinctive strike foils are open and closed by
powerful servo motors in the spacecraft this provides a greater range of fire to the laser
cannons mounted on the end of each wing instead of using a dedicated navigational system the
x-ray makes use of an astromech which fits in the socket behind the cockpit the x-wing
is equipped with a light support system that can last for one week in space including air
water and food a cargo bay carries a survival gear for the pilot who lands in a hostile environment
The Incom t70x x-wing was a signature combat craft of the resistance starfighter corp the
t-70 x-wing starfighter was the successor to the t-65b x-wing starfighter and in many ways inherit
many of the designs from the t65b manufactured by the income fighttech corporation and used
by the new republic defense fleet it is faster more expensive and complex than the former t65b
during the attack mode, the thrust engine has the ability to split into two making the ship more
aerodynamic and agile than its predecessor the T-70 is a favorite craft of the resistance pilots
including pole who flies the customized example code name black one the T-70 featured advanced
weapons and proved more versatile than its predecessor and was essential in both dark
fight and capital ship scale combat operations. The T-70 became the front-line starfighter of the
resistance in this fight against the first order approximately 30 years after the Battle of Endor
because it's smaller in size it made the ship more nimble and faster it was probably by a single
person and astromech droid the smaller T-70 x-wing starfighter was measured at 12.5 meters or 41 feet
in length and have a wingspan of 11 meters or 37 feet it has a maximum acceleration of 3800 g's and
a maximum atmospheric speed of 1300 kilometers per hour with a light speed of 120 mega lights.
A single hyperdrive was located between the ship's engines allowing the vessel
to hyperspace, the Incom T-70 x wing was the signature combat craft of the resistance
starfighter corp faster than the T-65 the T-70 would eventually, be replaced with the newer T-85 X wing
the T-70 X wing has been in service to the new republic defense fleet for more than two
decades with the fleet admiral Akbar realized that most of the T-70 was overdue for technical and
mechanical upgrades anticipating that the aging starfighter would require additional maintenance
modification and repairs within five years Arkbar proposed that the republic navies should
commission income fitec to design a prototype for the next-generation model of the X-wing
the starship was flown by one pilot and have an on-board astromech robot for assistance T-85 shares
many of the characteristics of the T-65b in the T-70 but has a shorter wingspan and a distinctive
nose which holds advanced sensors the t85 was a longer starship measuring about 15.7 meters or 51
feet in length with a wingspan of 13.7 meters or 44 feet it has a maximum acceleration of 3800 g's
and maximum atmospheric speed of 1300 kilometers per hour and a hyper-speed of 120 mega lights.
The X-wing features four thrust engines and were equipped with a hyperdrive similar to
the T-65b it carried four laser cannons and several proton torpedo launchers engine and flight system
were upgraded with the greater thrust engines installed and improve the ship's maneuverability
the X-wing is to this day one of the most recognizable starship of all time in the sci-fi
genre a versatile rebel alliance starfighter that balance speed with firepower the X-wing
T-65 in Luke Skywalker was made famous for destroying the Death Star at the end of Star Wars
