Design and development
The Racer 312 was designed as a smaller version of the Corvus Racer 540, to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. It was designed and the prototype built over a period of 13 months in 2012–13.

The Racer 312 features a cantilever low-wing, two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft is made from composite material and its 8.33 m span wing employs split flaps. The standard engine fitted is the 100 hp Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. With this engine the cruise speed is anticipated to be 280 km/h.

As of February 2017, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.
