Since we always see (in the OT) wings open in space, but wings closed in atmosphere, I thought wings closed was an aerodynamic configuration for flying in an atmosphere. But I'm not familiar with the Expanded Universe, maybe it's been established you can have wings open in air as well. Star Wars has never been that concerned with the actual physics of flight. :lol

Yeah, as there is no atmosphere in space, the S-foils don't contribute to flight, they just move the cannons further apart maybe for better range and targeting. So regardless if they are in atmosphere or space, the result is the same.
