I saw a news article relating to NASA's latest X-Plane, the X-57 and decided to try and make a prototype commuter style plane (using Hyperloop's excellent NX-036 Mk.III model) The X-57 features 14 electric motors, 2 on wingtip pontoons for cruising at ~175mph, and 6 on each wing's leading edge for takeoff and landing. The leading edge motors are AG1

The rudder control surfaces were a little messed up and I missed colouring a couple of parts on the previous version.

Please, if you think this looks nice, download it! It flies like a dream.
