Switchblade Flying Sports Car Makes Her Official First Flight
The Switchblade is a specific type of flying car designed and developed by Samson Motors, an American aerospace manufacturer. The Switchblade is a unique concept that combines the features of a sports car with those of a small airplane, allowing it to be driven on roads and flown in the air. The Switchblade is a three-wheel, street legal vehicle that you drive from your garage to a nearby local airport. Once there, the wings swing out and the tail extends in under 3 minutes. You then fly your registered aircraft directly to your destination – at up to 200 mph and 13,000 feet.
Key features of the Switchblade flying car include:
Convertible Design:
The Switchblade has a convertible design that allows it to transform between driving and flying modes. When on the road, it operates as a three-wheeled sports car. In flying mode, the wings extend, and the vehicle becomes a small airplane.
Flying Capabilities:
In flying mode, the Switchblade is capable of taking off and landing at airports. It is designed for private pilots and requires a pilot’s license to operate. The vehicle is equipped with a pusher propeller at the rear for flight propulsion.
Performance:
The Switchblade is designed for speed and performance. It has a top speed on the road and can cruise at a higher speed in the air. The design aims to provide a comfortable and enjoyable driving and flying experience.
Safety Features:
Samson Motors has incorporated various safety features into the Switchblade, including a parachute system that can be deployed in case of an emergency during flight.
It’s important to note that the Switchblade and similar flying car concepts are part of the evolving field of urban air mobility and personal air transportation. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the Switchblade was in the prototype and testing phase, and the company was working toward certification.
