Ailerons , just like real planes. In space they use [technical jargon*]. Incom T-47 Airspeeder: [LINK] ( source [LINK] ) [LINK] I don't think they had atmospheres in mind when they designed her: *For what it's worth: ( Wookieepedia links ) A repulsor coil [LINK] was an integral component in the building of a repulsorlift engine. The repulsor coil was the component that produced the anti-gravitational field. The repulsor coil used a radioactive outburst to excite the electrons on the ground, disrupting the polarized magnetic thereby manipulating gravity.
