With the S-foils open in attack position, the craft had a greater spread of fire as opposed to whilst shut. The S-foils were controlled by an S-foil servo actuator located in the back of the starfighter. This gave the craft its distinctive 'X'-like appearance when viewed from the front or rear. Normally, the foils on each side locked in place flush against each other during combat, however, the foils were folded out. It had two pairs of wing-like strike foils, or S-foils, mounted at the rear of the craft on opposite sides. This included outmaneuvering the TIE fighter, which was otherwise faster and more maneuverable than the X-wing in space. Unlike other starfighters the X-wing could excel in atmospheric flight. It was designed to excel in all aspects of starfighter combat, being highly maneuverable and heavily shielded, with a small profile that made it harder to hit. The T-65B X-wing starfighter was manufactured by Incom Corporation.
