The CASA C-212 Aviocar is a turboprop-powered STOL medium cargo aircraft designed and built by CASA in Spain for civil and military use. During the late 1960s, the Spanish Air Force was still operating a number of outdated piston-engined transports, including the three-engined Junkers Ju 52 and two-engined Douglas C-47. In order to meet the Spanish Air Force's needs to modernise its transport force, CASA proposed the C-212, a twin engined 18 seat transport aircraft that would be capable of fulfilling a variety of military roles, including passenger transport, ambulance aircraft and paratroop carrier, while also being suitable for civil use. The first prototype flew on 26 March 1971.

 

Die CASA C-212 Aviocar ist ein mitleres Turboprop-betriebenes STOL-Frachtflugzeug, das von CASA in Spanien für zivile und militärische Zwecke entwickelt und gebaut wurde. In den späten 1960er Jahren betrieb die spanische Luftwaffe noch eine Reihe veralteter Kolbenmotorftransportmaschinen, darunter die dreimotorige Junkers Ju 52 und die zweimotorige Douglas C-47. Um die Anforderungen der spanischen Luftwaffe zur Modernisierung ihrer Transportkraft zu erfüllen, schlug CASA den C-212 vor, ein zweimotoriges Transportflugzeug mit 18 Sitzplätzen, das eine Vielzahl von militärischen Aufgaben erfüllen könnte, darunter Personentransport, Ambulanzflugzeug und Fallschirmjäger , während sie auch für den zivilen Gebrauch geeignet sind. Der erste Prototyp flog am 26. März 1971.
