An X-Wing Fighter that actually flies!

An outfit calling themselves Polecat Aerospace in California has built an almost full-sized X-Wing Fighter from the Star Wars movies. It's 21 feet long, has a 19-foot wingspan, and it really flies!

It is made of wood and some aluminum, and is propelled by four solid-fuel rockets. It even has an Artoo unit that can rotate its head by remote control. And to top it all off, the wings can adjust position in flight just like a real X-Wing would!

Polecat Aerospace is going to launch it next week. Can't wait to see the video of this thing in action!

More details about the X-Wing here.
