Auto Credit Based on Akshay25's Sparrow DX-12 (reconnaissance aircraft)

Originally designed by @Akshay25. The DX-12-1 is a further development of the DX-12 Sparrow, a reconnaissance aircraft designed with the future in mind. This upgrade includes major modifications to the engines which are now turboprops rather than their old piston counterparts. In order to compensate for this change, weight from the airframe has been decreased while extra fuel has been added to power the engines. Major modifications have also been carried out on the tail section in order to improve stability along the normal axis of the aircraft and the nose and cockpit section have been optimised and streamlined in order to increase the top speed of the aircraft. Again, credit goes to Akshay25 for the original design (which by the way is great!).
