Auto Credit Based on Hyperloop's NX-036 Mk.III

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
