NASA 515 B737
This can be spawned using an edited workbench or a custom mission
NASA 515 is a Boeing 737 heavily modified for NASA use as a continuing research facility.[1] The aircraft was the first 737 built and was used by Boeing to qualify the 737 design.[2] NASA 515 was maintained and flown by Langley Research Center as part of the Terminal Area Productivity (TAP) program.
After its use by NASA was concluded in 2003, the aircraft was preserved, and is on public display at the Museum of Flight, near Seattle, Washington.

The Nasa 515 was built with an experimental flight deck and several data monitoring stations where the cabin of the plane would normally be. In real life, the plane was used for aerodynamic testing and such, but in Stormworks it has many new experimental features installed, including a basic autoland system.
1). On the overhead panel, turn on the battery
2). Turn on the EN1, APU, and EN2 generator switches.
3). Turn on the APU master switch.
4). Turn on the three fuel pump switches.
5). Turn on the engine power switches and the two hydraulic system switches.
6). Turn on the anti-ice and the three bleed air switches.
7). Press the two engine starter buttons.
8). On the center pedestal, open the two fuel cutoff switches.
9). Disable the parking brake and throttle up.
10). Turn off the APU master switch when you are in the air. Make sure to turn on the flight director, or else the autopilot systems won’t work!
To set up the aft flight deck, just turn on the systems power switch and then activate all of the monitors. The bottom left monitor only activates if you turn on the radar at the radar station. Once you’ve done this, you can fly the plane almost completely from the aft flight deck.
Autopilot
The autopilot system includes a roll damper, an altitude hold, a GPS autopilot, and a pitch stabilizer. The roll damper and altitude hold can also be toggled from the aft flight deck for ease of use.
Autoland System
The autoland system is very basic and only needs a single GPS waypoint. Use the console in the rear of the plane to set it up. For the most accurate landing, select a waypoint located about halfway down the runway (the area where it connects to the taxiway). Turn on the autoland system switch. Make sure the autobrakes are enabled in the front cockpit. They automatically activate the brakes and throttle down when they detect the plane is on the ground. Next, go to the aft flight deck, enable the autoland system, and turn off the altitude hold. Make sure to throttle down to 49 and lower the flaps. At the moment, the autoland system only controls pitch, so you still need to line the plane up with the runway. It can also have issues with ending up above the glideslope or whatever but it still lands with enough space to stop.
If you aren’t using the autoland system to land, you can just fly from the normal cockpit. Throttle down to 49, lower the flaps, and turn on the autobrakes.
In addition, the plane also has a data center in the back, along with a radar station. Using the blue box in front of the aft flight deck, you can also activate engine failures and a cabin fire failure. (The APU key explodes the APU but it seems that it won’t start a fire).
