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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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!
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.
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!
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
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. 🎬
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!
@@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...
@@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.
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.
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!!
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!
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 😐🤨
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@jawarakfFrom 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
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.
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.
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.
this was just a bad ass video.. LOVE IT .. ive seen a few of your videos before, liked em a lot. this is the one that got my subscription .. keep up the absolute EXCELENT work good Sir.. and Thank you for your time and effort in making these.

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.
@@jawarakfFrom 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
@@jawarakf Yeah. With the advent of 3D software technology, these obvious problems can be fixed quite easliy.
I was in love with it from the first time I saw it.........
Oh god what an excellent video
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.
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.
wow this is so amazing
Thanks.
Epic music is epic
This was my favorite best Star fighter in the Star Wars Franchise
Wow. Awesome detail. You could almost build one from this video
A great all around fighter indeed
I Totally love all of your videos on RUclips and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thank You 😆😀😀😀😄😄😄😄
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. 👍
this was just a bad ass video.. LOVE IT .. ive seen a few of your videos before, liked em a lot. this is the one that got my subscription .. keep up the absolute EXCELENT work good Sir.. and Thank you for your time and effort in making these.
welcome onboard! More to come.
beautiful ship
It really is!
