 Starfighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Starfighter" is a science fiction term used to describe relatively small, maneuverable manned spacecraft designed for military combat (cf starship).
The appearance and use of fictional starfighters is often modeled on fighter aircraft, with little regard for the actual physics of space travel.
Starfighters are popular as the subjects of flight simulator-like space combat video games, such as the "Wing Commander" and "X-Wing" series.

 Star Wars: Databank | Jedi starfighter
Small wedge-shaped one-man starfighters, these vessels were used by the Jedi order in the waning days of the Galactic Republic.
Though the wedge-shaped starfighter design was still in use by war's end, a newer model had earned the spotlight for its use by renowned Jedi heroes, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The hexagonal wings and the spoke-windowed cockpit were strong indicators of future starfighter designs to be adopted by the galactic government.

 F-104 Starfighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, an updated Starfighter sold well abroad, particularly in NATO among the air forces of Germany, Canada and Italy, where high-speed fighter-bomber versions usually continued in service until the mid-1980s (and, in the case of the Italian Air Force, until 2004).
Most export Starfighters were fitted with Martin-Baker zero-zero ejection seats (having the ability to successfully eject the pilot from the aircraft even if the aircraft was at zero altitude and zero airspeed), which no doubt was comforting to pilots.
Their two F-104 Starfighters, a CF-104D 104632 "N104RB" and CF-104 104850 "N104RD" [with a third to be restored] were originally with the Royal Canadian Air Force and both later served with the Royal Norwegian Air Force before being imported into the US in private hands.

 Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter - ESCMag Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Really, Jedi Starfighter is a continuation of Starfighter, with a few minor tweaks here and there to make what was a great game even better.
While the graphics for the mission levels are almost identical, which is to say very well done with lushly textured landscapes and incredible depth to the deep space missions, the cinemas have improved dramatically.
The fact that I could pick up Jedi Starfighter and not have to deal with the learning curve of getting used to the ships was a huge plus, and there are enough improvements to the original to keep the game from getting boring.

 Starfighter with Luftwaffe
The loss rate of Luftwaffe Starfighters was not all that extraordinary, since the Luftwaffe had suffered a 36 percent attrition rate with the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, the Starfighter's immediate predecessor.
The Starfighter required 38-45 hours of maintenance for every hour in the air, and many of the Luftwaffe ground crew personnel were conscripts who were probably too hastily trained.
At the height of the Starfighter political crisis in mid-1966, the Luftwaffe chief, General Wernher Panitzki, was forced to resign after he had criticized the FRG's Starfighter procurement program as being politically-motivated.

The BTL Y-wing starfighter, built by Koensayr Manufacturing, was a mainstay of the Rebel Alliance starfighter corps.
Its deficiencies were partly compensated for by the heavy proton torpedo load it could carry, and its ability to paralyze craft with ion cannon fire without destroying them, unique until the B-wing starfighter was introduced after the Battle of Yavin.
X-wing starfighters and A-wing interceptors were used to distract the enemy fighters and the ship's gunners, to allow the Y-wings and B-wings to focus their fire on the capital ship.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Aircraft Museum - F-104 Starfighter
Though capable of speeds exceeding Mach 2 and of reaching altitudes exceeding 90,000 ft, the Starfighter suffered from limited range, poor turn radius, limited payload capacity, and unforgiving flight characteristics.
The F-104 was used for a time by both the Strategic Air Command as an interceptor and the Tactical Air Command as a fighter bomber.
Nevertheless, the Starfighter was given a new lease on life when West Germany accepted the updated F-104G as its primary fighter.
