Real X-wings took flight at Disney’s new Star Wars ride grand opening thanks to Boeing
Boeing might be taking the last crucial steps to prepare for its first crewed Starliner capsule spaceflight,
by helping Disney build X-wing large-scale starfighters to celebrate the opening of the “Rise of the Resistance” ride at Disney World in Florida.
Earlier this week when the ride opened during an evening ceremony,
X-wings “roughly the size of a family van” flew over the event, as described by The Drive, which first identified earlier spy shots of the vehicles as potentially being based on Boeing’s aerial cargo drone.
Boeing has since confirmed its involvement, but they aren’t providing more info than that the X-wings were indeed their aircraft.
