• Star Wars Main Theme |...
The X-wing was a class of starfighter used by the Rebel Alliance in their conflict with the Galactic Empire.
It made its first appearances in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope as the Incom T-65B model.
The X-wing starfighter was the all-purpose starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and was Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance.
It possessed deflector shields, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and proton torpedoes.
Compared to the TIE fighter, the X-wing is said to be slower and less maneuverable in space but has superior firepower, defenses, a fast hyperdrive, and four laser canons.
Here is a list of books and tools I have used to recreate these animations. (affiliate links)

1978. A child who had watched Lost in Space and Star Trek on a black and white small TV goes to the theater. His jaw already dropped in the first scene of the corellian corvette and now there was the incredible roar of engines preparing for take off. One of the most defining moments in my life. Words cannot describe a kid in seventh heaven.
Your description fits me too
Well said, I have forgotten how old l am twice in my 54 years of breathing but l have never forgotten the thrill that the opening scene gave me when as a young boy, l first saw Star Wars at the cinema.
Waiting in line. Then seeing the words and music were amazing. From Batman on TV to the showing of Star Wars on the big screen.
Try it in 70mm. You become part of the scene.
If you want to hear something incredibly loud. Watch the Saturn 5 rocket lift off. That is a Beast of an engine. Nothing today compares to it!
Amazing visualization, please produce more of it. May the force be with you.
Will do.
@Halfscreen too stupid on how we don't even build these in reality az much az military jets. 😐🤨. Don't we haz TECHNOLOGY. Or if lifesavers weren't fiction and 💎 could make a lazor sword or if actually gravity could actually work like da force and a superpower and not a downward force.
who did the music for this video its one of the best star wars themes i have heard in a long time!

Oi vey...
@@Halfscreen it's been removed.
@@Halfscreen Name of the artist/channel that provided the music? Curious who they are. Thanks for the great video!
Edit: found it... Samuel Kim Music. ua-cam.com/video/VQwM1oMzne4/v-deo.html
@@scootle74 Hey, great link to his music.
The X-wing was always my favorite ship.
My all time no.1 of all time is the Millennium Falcon close at no.1.1 X-Wing :)
Mine too. Now that I know what a big trunk it has, it’s also the best fighter for vacation 😉
@@maxglomm The bigger question: we see that the cargo is loaded on the bottom, how did luke get those crates out after he crashes into the swamp on Dagobah?
either
Well, I have decided to take a different approach when I created this animation. I have to reverse engineer the design to make the animation seem plausible.
Noice, next real world fighter jets soon
Your animations are amazing :) Love the 'build an X-Wing approach...I love revisiting my childhood like this, thank you.
@@jonfarrah No problem, I'm glad you are enjoying it.
@@Halfscreen I'm hooked!...I'm a Halfscreen junkie :) To the future & beyond!
@@jonfarrah Thanks for watching!
I'm new to your channel and a life long fan of Star Wars. That was an absolutely amazing render, even the music with that slow build....wow. I definitely have a deeper appreciation for the X-Wing. Thank you for taking the time to really bring this vehicle to life, from the inside out!
Awesome, thank you!
Very well made video.
The design of the X-Wing was an old hold over design the Republic used in the Clone wars fighting the CIS. You can see early iterations of the design concept in Episode 3 during some of the space battles.
Yep, it's predecessor the headhunter
And ARC-170
Is that the new canon? They used to be new models Incom was trying to sell to the Empire after they had made the Headhunter and ARC-170 but the Empire was shifting to TIE's. Incom was going to be Nationalized in to the TIE program so they allowed the design to be stolen by the Rebel Alliance.
@@justicetaylor3050y do we not have it in reality by now??? We haz TECHNOLOGY. We made jets and 🛫✈️🛬 and even space shuttles yet we too stupid and can't figure out how to do ties and x wings and star wars technology? And if only gravity could work like da force of a helpful supernatural power not a downward force holding you on planet.
Very cool. Loved the music really added punch to the video. My opinion of the X-wing is the same it's been for the last 30 years. BADASS!
Totally agree
Have you seen Adam Savage's videos on the X-Wing at the Smithsonian? Thrilling!
The x wing has always been one of my favorites
I like this video as it shows the inner workings of the X-Wing Fighter and what made it such a versatile fighter against the Empire and later the First Order.
If I remember correctly, it is written in the rebel alliance role playing game source book that the X-Wing fighter was originally designed to be the next fighter craft for the Galactic Empire. But the rebels were able to steal the working prototypes and build more
the designer defected to the rebellion and the reason it was so important at the time is that even though its a fighter it has its own hyperdrive .
Fun fact: the Star Wars ILM designer who created the X wing based it off the 1960s 1970s dragster funny cars. Lucas liked the sleek design & X wing laser cannons. 🎬
I used to love the X-Wing when I was a kid.. This was great..
Since first seeing them in the theater in '77 I always tried to imagine where all the technical items were placed inside and in my mind I compared their construction with our battle planes of our time. Your illustrations and animations brought it all together for me. Made fiction reality. Thank you!
Love the video, the epic music made it even better!
That was brilliant! I love how it looked like it was being manufactured as you went through it and described it. It would be a little bit better to have more description of each component as much as can be. Well done, most impressive!
Thanks for watching.
@@Halfscreen 652 mph atmospheric speed is about as slow a as commercial jetliner. According to some of the books I've read, it can move at hypersonic speeds igniting the atmosphere behind it...
@@hanc37 Well, it's based on their stats since I didn't make up that number.
@@Halfscreen Who is their stats? Not trying to be rude or argumentative, but an F-16 could run circles around an X-wind without even going Mach 1 and that would not be even close to atmosphere escape velocity... Sorry, I am a nerd.
@@hanc37 starwars.fandom.com/wiki/T-65_X-wing_starfighter
Wow that the construction music was amazing so delicate and epic at the same time
Well said. I could not find better words.
AWESOME Video and you have OUTSTANDING Animation of the Inside and Outside of the X-Wing which is my Favorite Starfighter of ALL Sci-Fi and the Colonial Mk-3 Viper is my Second Favorite!
Glad you liked it
Wow! You knocked this one out of the park! Video is genius and the music stirring. Good show!!!
Wow, thanks!
Why is it that watching this video, the fleshout of a completely fictional machine, is so inspirational?
Fell in love with the T-65 since i read the book and then watched the movie. Blew my mind out of my head as a small child dreaming of the cosmos.
Congrats, and thanks. You have made a dreaming child again of me, anew.
No problem David and thanks for watching.
Impressive stuff. I think the X-Wing is my favorite ship in the Star Wars universe.
Y don't we actually build these things in reality since we haz TECHNOLOGY???? We've made 🚗🏍🚢🛫✈️🛬🚁🚄 even space shuttles even but too stupid or lazy to haz star wars technology? Or if only gravity could work like da force az a thing to begin with. Would life be soooo much easier 😐🤨
Super job!
I really can't think of anything that I wouldn't want you to do this for.
Love the new animation. This is fantastic.
Thanks so much for showing the insides of these iconic ships. I never knew what they looked like. Love the music!
No problem!
super smooth animation and the music you selected couldn't fit better ... developed straight to my favorite interpretation of the sw score
Thanks haze!
With the hype music blaring, I think the x wing is the most iconic hero's space fighter of all time!
The Naboo fighter was the most elegant, the B-wing the most innovative, but the X-wing was the most iconic! Nice CGI modeling.
Couldn't agree more!
As a design engineer and a Star Wars fan, I enjoyed the inside out approach of this design. I do have a nit to pick, though.
2:22 According to my understanding of Star Wars lore, the T-65 actually has two magazines storing a total of 6 proton torpedoes which are launched from a pair of launchers. I am guessing that your rendering of the torpedoes is much larger than they would have been in the ship. I understand that working from a cutaway drawing doesn't provide enough information on scale for the torpedoes. In any case, I do appreciate your work on modeling these ships and droids.
The original 3D model of the x-wing I d/l wasn't exactly to scale, so I have to be a bit creative in terms of getting things fit "correctly". Hence why something looks kind of off.
I hope to see future videos like this one on the T65B X-Wings descendants the T-70 and T-80 X-Wings like the one Poe piloted in the last 3 Star Wars Films.
Oh, and I love the T-65B X-Wing starfighter. My favorite starfighter of all time.
Alway worth the watch. Good memories.
That was a really enjoyable video. The 3D model was fantastic, the lack of long drawn out verbal details was nice. Elegant, clean video. Impressive, most impressive.
The X Wing was always my favorite Star Wars ship. Reminded me of the MTB from WWII. They took a small, very fast maneuvering boat and mounted two torpedoes on the bow. Like a wasp with a sledgehammer. Absolute genius.
Awesome, thank you!
You did an excellent job showing the "guts" of the X-Wing starfighter and how it all comes together. I can't wait to see more!
Dude, fantastic, and I love the music!
That was AWESOME!! The X-Wing kinda reminds me of a F-14 fighter just straight forward attacker! Thanks for expanding the STAR WARS universe! LOVE IT!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really dig the new approach.although I imagine that working better with smaller craft such as the "x"wing.good stuff brother.keep it up.
Yeah. It's a bit easier with smaller craft.
It's crazy to think that this ship has had such an impact on our collective imagination that people can make a video showing every single part and system being assembled and integrated.
Any chance for the Y and B-Wings in the future? Those are my two favorite ships (the X-Wing is cool an all but I've always found hero ships in most series to be the lest interesting, heck even in shows like Macross Plus I favored the VF-11 Thunderbolt's looks over the hero YF-19).
I would like to tackle the Macross Plus 1 since I'm a huge fan of the Robotech series. At the moment, I have a massive list of ships to build and would consider the Y and B Wings down the road. Thanks for watching.
Inside out animation is AMAZING!!!!! Great work and thanks for your efforts
Glad you enjoy it!
So much detail. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much!
Wow beautiful animation!
Your work is exemplary of what can be done with a fantastic Allyson 9mind and the ability to put it down onto " paper". I really appreciate your words and artistic skills.
Thanks for the compliment Phil.
"A fine adittion to my collection"
Grievous,General
Love the inside 3D model animation.
1:40 the bit with the gold rings on is a front car strut with air suspension!!
I think because it's actually car strut. 😂
Astounding sir, absolutely astounding! The animation coupled with the very unique and superb music was just fantastic!
Great Job!
Thank you kindly!
Fantastic graphics, interesting narrative, insightful and fun and just the right length. Videos get better and better. A lot of passion, thought and work go into these. Thanks!
Much appreciated!
Believe or not I would be considered a Star Wars child as I was born the same year the original hit the theatres in 1977.
I need to get me one of these! Great demo !
You should!
As a Star Wars fan, this is amazing, great job!
While playing star wars galaxies, I went across several planets to get the absolute best resources to make every component with the best possible stats. It took around 5 months and another month to assemble, but my advanced x wing was one of the best. The shields were next to none, weps made short work of Tie Defenders, and I also soloed the ISD in less than 15 minutes with several strafe runs. I love the x wing for it's toughness, firepower, and manuverability.
I was in love with it from the first time I saw it.........
My thoughts???? Absolutely DOPE!!! I highly encourage you to keep making these videos.
I appreciate that!
i like all the starwarsie bits but then a casual propane tank in the back of the cargo bay :D
Looks really good! awesome detail
Come on. Luke got to at least BBQ every once in awhile.
I love these breakdowns. I was a helicopter mechanic and crew chief in the us army for 8 years so these are like a familiar glimpse into this reality in a way that feels the same as what I used to do myself.
Thanks AG, I'm not really a mechanic or engineer, but I have work with many engineers in the past. I tried to design something that looks logical even though most of the internal parts are made.
@@Halfscreen really? wow.
Oh god what an excellent video
Animation was on point!
Thanks.
The X-wing is iconic! but dude, this video is amazing!!
thanks!
You really out did yourself on this one. Great work!
Much appreciated!
love the inside out animation
The real fighter, so lovely...
This was my favorite best Star fighter in the Star Wars Franchise
I like that insife View. Next time please make one of the BLT4 Y Wing (Rebel Alience version).
Mmmmm BLT4. Bacon Lettuce Tomato with 4 patties. Tastes great while watching Star Wars trilogy. : )
Wow. Awesome detail. You could almost build one from this video
Wow that 3D build was amazing to watch!
So, essentially the F-16 of the SW universe!
I was thinking more of an F-15 and the TIE Fighters were MiG-21s.
@@Newie69MK X-wings are Spitfires; Y-wings are Hurricanes; TIE fighters are Me-109s.
By far my favorite S.W. ship. Love the music!
Thanks!
Really nice animation! Except for one little nit pick: the way the proton torpedoes are shown, there's nowhere for them to be launched out of.
It's really based on the 3D model and cross-section design by Star Wars.
@@Halfscreen I know. And as you know, these designs aren't always thought through properly from an engineering standpoint. ;)
Did not see this comment before I ask a similar question....
@@axelhopfinger533 It never does. I used to work with engineers and the 3D models are based on real CAD files. Unfortunately, there aren't any real-world CAD files I can work with, so I have to re-imagine them.
The vid failed to add the sleeping quarters. Yes, that's right, directly behind the cockpit was a small bunk bed and amenities in a crawl space configuration. This was accessible by folding the cockpit seat down whilst in flight. It was also accessible from the cargo bay's main door under the airframe.This can be seen in the game star wars - squadrons in the vr section of the game. Turn your head to behind and down and you can partly see it around the cockpit seat. This makes sense when you think about it for if you're in space for extended periods of time, especially crossing vast expanses of space using hyperspace routes you'd very much need sleeping quarters. Still, nice vid though eh.
All my animations are based on the Star Wars' schematics book. I don't really play any of the Star Wars games to really know the extra small bunk bed behind the cockpit, but thank for the info.
@@Halfscreen all good. I appreciate your vids and the time and effort you put into them ;)
Looks like there's enough cabin space to stretch out to the pilot's left. It's not like you'd need a mattress or a cot, just a sleeping bag with some tethers and turn the grav off.
Bro, keep doing this type of videos, you are awesome
Thank you, I will
Now that's just kool as hell.
YES buddy this is how it’s done nice work
Thank for watching!
You know what would also be neat if they could do a video like this on the Millennium Falcon showing all of it's components and how it was assembled I mean they did one on the X-wing,The Y-wing,The A-wing they even did one on the Tie-Fighter and a time lapse video on the construction of the Death Star.
I thought it, but will need to redo the animations.
getting better with each video. really enjoying these.
Glad you enjoy it!
X Wing:
Has a Cargo bay for taking stuff with you,
Proton torpedo missiles,
Co-op pilot astromech droid,
A hyper drive,
A power generator, and shields for temporary protection.
standard Tie Fighter: has none of the above, and is only good for speed.
Great video! Always wondered where the fuel goes and what the heck the ground crew is disconnecting during all of the scenes-- Oxygen perhaps?
For some reason the X-wing reminds me of the P-51 Mustang. Kind of a thoroughbred type of fighter with good all-round capabilities. A Corsair might be another comparison but it's less sleek.
If it was compared to a jet, it's closer in function to an F-4 but in looks to an F-15. Trouble is the F-4 looks like it's saying "I'm gonna kill you..." and the F-15 doesn't have quite that look.
Keep them coming.
I don't recalled seeing any fuel tank on the x-wing.
Thank you for the detailed CGI breakdown on the internal structure, layout, components. My thought on this from engineering perspectives, the fuel cell is missing, the rails to fuel the engines are missing, the hyperdrive, artificial gravity drive core that also generates the atmosphere (deflector shield) is missing and most of the parts related to propulsion, flying are all too small, unfeasible and illogical apart from too many exposed parts that this spacecraft would explode due to massive heat trap on interplanetary entry if the shield is down. Not to mention, the missing energy cells for the laser cannons, where does the laser cannons get the energy to shoot laser beam? Verdict, in order to save cost and to save space, they only built the frontal fuselage then stick 4 engines and wings to it then call it X-Wing. Anyone from aviation engineering could tell the rear part of the X-Wing was meant to house large gravity drive, large fuel cell probably atomic powered cells with rails linked to directional thrusters to maneuver in space and to main propulsion engines. Hyperdrive is mainly the control unit that would pump in compressed nuclear detonation to the rear cone or through the same engine exhaust nozzles that would propel the fighter to light speed.
The same case goes to Wing Commander the movie starring Freddie Prince Jr. Chris Roberts bought old Mig fighters, saw off the fuselage just after the cockpit then placed the engine, added tiny winga then called it done rather than sticking to original plan to modify the Mig-23 to hellcat in Wing Commander 3 with overall length extended to 60ft.
There were a few things I left out due to time constraint. I just wanted to cover some of the basic and if I did cover everything, the animation would had been twice as long. I would love to pick your brain on these ships since having an engineering perspective would give the animation more weight. Having work with various engineers in the oil and gas industries, most of my past technical animations had to be review by SME prior to releasing the animation for potential clients. Great perspective either way!
@@Halfscreen thanks for replying. Even if you had more time and added the details, it will only show Star Wars sci-fi spacecrafts designers failed on engineering logic that even advanced alien 👽 can't build that and put it to work in reality. With reference to actual alien 👽 spacecraft intercepted by US, Russian, Belgian air force fighters, you'll find their spacecrafts are made air tight with silky smooth surface whether they shaped like boomerang, triangular, cylindrical, saucers with technical parts concealed. Frankly speaking, sci-fi spacecrafts that resorted to massive cost cutting such as X-Wing, Viper, etc are really unforgiving eyesore to those with at least some engineering background.
I actually suspect Star Wars designers actually built the Y-Wing first followed by X-Wing concurrently before cost overrun that they started to wrap up whatever with the sudden cheap final redesigned. You look at Y-Wing steel frame tells that they actually intended to build realistic space fighters as big as present F/A-18 or F-15 with room for atomic fuel cells, gravity drive, realistic directional thrusters mounted on fuselage and thick wings as per my earlier description. Due to sudden wrap up, the Y-Wing became hollow steel frame with 2 engines at the back while X-Wing stopped at half fuselage. Only millennium Falcon completed as per actual plan being practical in size.
@@jayjay53313From my understanding, I heard the original design crew ran out of budget and time and basically slap a bunch of parts just to meet deadline. As an artists, I can understand why most starships are design without any real logic behind them. They are usually overly complicated since they are design by artists and not engineers.
@@Halfscreen it depends on earlier proposed plan (realism vs stylish) & how much budget being allocated. From the Milenium Falcon and Y-Wing frame, I can tell that they intended to go for realism at first. Due to complications for special effects team, limitation on technology and budget overrun at that time could be the reasons that the fighters ended up smaller like half done compensated with fancy works and directional thrusters missing on all Star Wars ships & fighters. In space, to slow down, reverse, pitch, roll, yaw, up, down, left, right, forward would need directional thrusters to maneuver. Also there won't be air intake at all for fighters that could travel light years intergalactic travel on light speed without refueling at all. If I get to make Star Wars reboot or spinoff, I would correct all the fighters design being 60ft big. TIE fighters would be smaller as they can't go light speed meant for short range highly maneuverable fleet defenders escorting star destroyers
@@jayjay53313 Yeah. With the advent of 3D software technology, these obvious problems can be fixed quite easliy.
amazing animation in 3d!!!
Thanks.
One thing I have always wondered about the X-Wing fighter and that is where do the proton torpedoes come out when fired do they come out of those holes in the sides or something because I sure would like to know.
A great all around fighter indeed
I have a large model of an X-Wing that has the proton torpedos inside it for no particular reason as you can't even see them!
Like the new assembly animation!
Thanks.
Awesome ship. Nicely done.
Many thanks!
This channel has become one of my favorites! :)
Wow, thanks!
I actually saw the original Star Wars at a drive in theater back in 77.
I never knew how much space was actually in those cockpits! Or that it had a cargo bay!
And that they are waterproof!
@@RideAcrossTheRiver that’s pretty cool! :D
@@cyborgbob1017 The designers figured some X-wings would sink into bogs ...?

@@Halfscreen must be the location or smth but great vid tho
This one gonna go viral!
Great video mate, I know your really self conscious about your voice but I only say this in honest feedback. When your recording your voice its notable to hear you breathing in, maybe in future that when you do your recordings, you can edit out the parts of you breathing in so not only would it make it a more fluid presentation, we don't get a sort of "Speak, pause, breath, repeat" if you get what i mean. Please don't feel discouraged and I only say this as honest feedback to help you grow and achieve your best. Also, the animation and detail in this is on another level, it feels like one of those videos where you watch Battleships be built piece by piece!
Thanks for the feedback. At least you are given me some pointers to help improve my speech. In the past, I used to hire a professional narrator, but never thought I would have to record my own voice. I will definitely will keep that in mind.
@@Halfscreen Understandable mate, for now just keep up the fabulous work, your absolutely killing it with the animations.
Well done! I’m very impressed with this video.
Thank you! Cheers!
I am imagining the Request for Quote for this machine.
"Single pilot, long range, astromech socket, high speed, heavy direct armament sufficient to combat capital ships (to include torpedoes), long duration between refueling stops, space and atmospheric flight profiles, variable setting shields, capital-grade hyperspace drive.

beautiful ship
It really is!
Epic music is epic
Your best video yet, nice work!
Y-Wing?
I don't see why not
Would you ever consider detailing the overlooked B-Wing? Its one of the more powerful alliance ships and rarely talked about
I should have the B-Wing done sometime today.
Best music ever!
Bautiful video. Chills everywhere.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just watching this video I find it kinda weird that they would put the proton torpedo launcher right under the cockpit of the X-Wing.
Thanks for watching Nicholas.
Yes!!!! Now do the Y Wing!
Incredible work! Eager to see more!
Thank you! Will do!
Your detail is awesome, don't be shy to talk through the whole movie though. Would rather you spec the whole ship instead of spam the loud music. 👍
