A. as it has a much smaller cross-section than the Boeing 797 creating much less drag. -- creating here modifies the immediate preceding noun Boeing 797 and changes the meaning.
B. as it has a much smaller cross-section than had the Boeing 797 creating much less drag. -- Boeing is not in past. Verb tense is wrong here.
C. as it has a much smaller cross-section than that proposed for the Boeing 797, creating much less drag. -- correct comparison and verb-ing modifier
D. as it should have a much smaller cross-section than that proposed for the Boeing 797 creating much less drag. -- same as A; "should have" means moral obligation. Not correct usage in this situation.
E. as it had a much smaller cross-section than the proposed Boeing 797, creating much less drag. -- same as B
So, C

A. as it has a much smaller cross-section than the Boeing 797 creating much less drag. 1. Wrong comparison - cross-section vs boeing
2. Creating is incorrectly modifying Boeing 797
B. as it has a much smaller cross-section than had the Boeing 797 creating much less drag.
1. Tense problem 2. Modifier issue (same as in A)
C. as it has a much smaller cross-section than that proposed for the Boeing 797, creating much less drag.
Correct
1. Comparison issue is resolved.
2.'creating much less drag' correctly modifies the previous clause and shows the effect of it.
D. as it should have a much smaller cross-section than that proposed for the Boeing 797 creating much less drag.
Should- incorrect
E. as it had a much smaller cross-section than the proposed Boeing 797, creating much less drag.
Comparison issue.
