DIY YouTuber Luis has uploaded a video to his channel, German engineer, of an X-wing drone he built in an attempt to build a working real-life model of the T-65 X-wing Starfighter from Star Wars. The working X-wing model only came after six iterations.
The design of the drone was inspired by the Red Bull drone, which has has a top speed of 350 km/h. The final prototype was fast, though not as fast as the inspiration. Contrary to the thumbnail of the YouTube video and previous reports of 152 mph, Luis says the drone has a top speed of 216 km/h (134 mph) and a flight time of about 10 minutes.
The design wasn't without compromises, one of which was the placement of the rotors at the tip of the wings even though the original Star Wars drone had them closer to the fuselage (at the base of the wings). He also made the project open-source; you can find the files on Printables.
