These aren’t maneuvering thrusters where thrust moves the plane. These are changing the airflow on wing to act like control surfaces. Pilot should fly them the same way as now, with computers making them work and act like normal surfaces. This isn’t replacing aileron with thruster but replacing with inverse aileron.
The next generation might use airflow control surfaces.
