Re: Here's an interesting poser that I have posed elsewhere.

As the saying (originally about the F-4 Phantom, I believe) goes, "with enough thrust, you can get a brick to fly".

To fly, but not necessarily be stable. The Phantom's polyhedral wings were at least symmetrical. I think an X-Wing's wing symmetry would cause it to pitch badly.
