S-foils

S-foils, also known as Strike foils, were movable wings attached to a X-wing starfighter sometimes equipped with weaponry. The foils were locked in a closed position in normal flight, but when engaged in combat the foils spread open into an attack position. Notable models to have S-foils were the T-65B X-wing starfighter manufactured by Incom Corporation and the T-70 X-wing starfighter manufactured by Incom-FreiTek, posed a distinctive X shape when the S-foils were locked in attack position, which gave the laser cannons mounted on each wing a wider field of firing range.^[1]
