Auto Credit Based on HyperionEnterprises's 1948 Hyperion D-16 Silver Comet

(Fixed a few bugs in the design, such as the throttles and brake lever moving the wrong way, and added controls for the lights)

Post WWII, Hyperion Enterprises saw a huge leap in business, as their planes had proudly and reliably served the Allied Forces for the entirety of the conflict. In 1948, they decided to launch a civilian version of their B-20 light bomber as a cargo plane named the Silver Comet, named for its rapid cruising speed and polished aluminum airframe. Mail carriers like the Droo Postal Service praised its rock-steady flight characteristics, spacious cockpit, and incredible (for the day) fuel efficiency. The D-16 was so popular, Hyperion continued making it until 1993, switching the 1,800-kW radial engines out for their in-house turboprop engines in 1971.
