==Description==
Delta-shaped, with stubby swept wings stippled with missile hardpoints, this A8 Combat Airspeeder is one of the most popular atmospheric battle craft in the galaxy. Generally painted brick red, it is dominated by a bubble canopy which provides an excellent field of view. Its minimalist fuselage (for it is mostly wings) is organized around this cockpit--and around a single bulbous ramjet with auxiliary thrusters for slow-speed maneuvering.
