The SPCA 90 was a civil transport aircraft built in France in the early 1930s. It was a high-wing monoplane of conventional layout with a thick-sectioned, cantilever wing.[1][2] The cabin was fully enclosed,[1] and was large enough that the aircraft could be used as an air ambulance to carry two stretchers plus attendants.[2][3] The fixed undercarriage consisted of divided main units and a tailskid. Only a single example was built (registration F-AKFJ),[1] which saw service in Morocco.[3]
In 1935, SPCA built an airliner version of the same design, designated 91T.[2] The cargo area was fitted out as a passenger cabin with seats for eight passengers, a baggage compartment, and a lavatory.[2] This was to be SPCA's last aircraft.[2]
