Percival H. Spencer had designed the Republic Seabee light amphibian aircraft in 1946. After leaving Republic, he designed the on-off two-seat Air Car. In the early 1970s he designed the improved and larger four-seat S-12-D Aircar, which retained the basic layout of the Seabee.
The Air Car is built from wood, steel and glass-fibre. It has a strut-braced high wing and the cabin and fuel-carrying floats are similar to the Seabee, but the tail unit is more angular and a retractable tricycle undercarriage is fitted.
In addition to examples constructed by Spencer, plans of the design have been sold for home construction and the first amateur-built Air Car flew in September 1974. Over 50 had flown by 2001. Examples are currently (2009) flying in the USA and Canada.
