Description
Well, I finally did it. I designed my own Star Wars fighter. With all of the cool designs that have already come before, it was quite a challenge. I hope you like it. I tried to incorporate all of the things that I would like on a fighter, to include enough Star Wars design cues that it would fit into the existing pantheon of fighters, but then also to include a few things that you haven't seen before on Star Wars fighters. Check it out.

Originally conceived as “Mandalore’s answer to the X-Wing,” the MX-220/Z Knighthawk, or “M-Wing” represents the pinnacle of modern starfighter design. Called the "M-Wing" due to the shape of it's S-Foils when viewed from the front, rear, or above; the M-Wing should not be confused with the much older "M-class" fighter.

Designed and manufactured by Mandal Motors for use by the Mandalorian Knights, the M-Wing offers a number of compelling and innovative design features, including: 1. The aft-mounted blaster turret which can be operated by the gunner, the astromech droid, or by on board auto-targeting systems. 2. A nested astromech socket located just behind the cockpit to offer added protection for the onboard astromech droid. 3. The retractable front turret allows the M-Wing to easily target hostiles through an enormous firing arc. Working in concert with the rear turret, there is almost no safe angle from which to attack the M-Wing. The forward turret can also fold away if desired for improved aerodynamic performance during atmospheric flight. 4. In addition to its twin forward-mounted torpedo launchers, the M-Wing also carries two wingtip-mounted concussion missiles, with 4 additional hard points available under the wings to give the M-Wing that much more added punch. 5. The M-Wing also sports Beskar and lightweight Z-type Zillo-armor, which gives the craft its /Z designation. 6. Folding wingtips minimize its space requirements in a carrier setting. 7. Thanks to a rotational joint located just behind the astromech droid, the forward part of the fuselage can rotate up or down, to expand the firing arc of the nose turret, to improve visibility at various angles of attack, and to improve aerodynamics during certain maneuvers. 8. Its unique engine configuration offers remarkable maneuverability. 9. Two wing-mounted multi-function heavy cannons can either act as heavy blaster cannons or as ion cannons.
