X-wing Starfighters also known simply as X-wing's are a type of starfighter in the Star Wars universe known for their X-shaped wings position when they are in attack formation. X-wings are heavily armed with four laser cannons positioned on their wings, called S-foils, and proton torpedo launchers in the X-wing fuselage itself. The X-Wing is synonymous with the Rebel Alliance and its struggle against the tyrannical Galactic Empire. Known for its iconic design, exceptional maneuverability, and powerful weaponry, the X-Wing is a significant element of the Star Wars vehicle fleet. The X-Wing's most notable appearance in Stars Wars is the starfighter piloted by Luke Skywalker during the Death Star assault in A New Hope.
