gizmodo.com — Andy Woerner and his crazy rocketeer friends have built a 21-foot long X-Wing model that can actually fly. Yes, this is a real X-Wing powered by four solid-fuel rocket engines complete with radio-controlled moving wings. It blasts off in California next week, and we talked with Andy about the project, and how they expect it will do.

x-wings aren't aerodynamic, they're meant for zero-atmosphere (where they wouldn't need wings).

Sorry it took me this long to reply. I kept trying to find it on youtube, but then I remembered that once upon a time, there were other video sites: <a class="user" href="http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/3332">http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/3332</a>Of course... sites that couldn't even work properly in firefox fell. This video is worth firing up IE for though, if anything is.
