In the film Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, the Rebel Alliance modified T-47 air speeders to become snowspeeders fast flying conveyances for patrol and defense of their hidden base while stationed on Planet Hoth. It some cleverness to keep the crippling cold from permanently grounding their air force, but Rebel ingenuity overcame the relentless Hoth elements.
