4L4 fusial thrust engine/Legends

4L4 fusial thrust engines were advanced sublight drive engines manufactured by Incom Corporation for use aboard X-wing starfighters. As well as the T-65 models used during the Galactic Civil War, these engines were also used on later models such as the XJ3 X-wing, which saw action during the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Four of these powerful engines were mounted on each X-wing, allowing for a maximum speed of 1,300 kilometers per hour. In addition, engines of this type were often adapted with a system of etheric rudders, allowing thrust vectoring and enhanced maneuverability. This maneuverability was so increased that pilots likened it to flying a T-16 skyhopper in atmospheric flight.

Next-generation X-wing models, such as the XJ X-wing, were equipped an even more advanced propulsion system&mdash;Incom 4j.4 fusial thrust engines. Rated at 300 KTU, these engine units provided even more power than the 4L4s, allowing speeds comparable to that of the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor.
