wcw43921 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Saw this on the Star Wars site and thought I'd pass it along--from the upcoming Clone Wars animated series, this is what a Y-Wing looks like fresh off the showroom floor-- http://www.starwars.com/theclonewars/news/news20080403.html While I like the design, I could see why the Rebellion's mechanics left the fairing off--there seems to be a lot of wasted space inside.

Don't know about the body fairing. But with the engine fairings on, I think the engines look a tad too much like warp drive nacelles from Start Trek ToS.

Thia Halmades Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Re: Y-Wing Evolution The Y-Wing always had that nacelle design though. Hence the distinctive shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveZilla Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Re: Y-Wing Evolution 16309 I win. I mean, come on. That's not anywhere near 128-bit encryption strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merovign Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Re: Y-Wing Evolution I always thought of the Y-wing as sort of like the P47 Thunderbolt - it was a mainstay multirole fighter/attack platform, it wasn't pretty, but the darned things just kept flying. Though the Y-wing was more of an attack aircraft, IIRC. http://www.aviation-history.com/republic/p47.html The idea of hearkening back to older designs is not entirely alien to the Star Wars universe.
