Flying machines developed in the United States were allowed to fly into the sky.

The Samsung Switchblade has received a rubber stamp from the FAA, the United States Government Aviation Administration, to begin flight testing.

After 14 years of development, the Switchblade now undergoes final high-speed testing before flight testing.

According to Oregon-based Samson Sky, the machine has been reserved for 2,100 people and will come as a DIY kit.

Each Switchblade kit includes engine, transmission, avionics, interior, and Samson Builder Assist software.

The Switchblade is a 3-wheel road legal vehicle that can be parked in your garage.

Drive from the garage to the nearest airport. Once there, it spreads its wings and stretches its tail in three minutes.

Then fly the registered aircraft to the nearest airport to your destination at speeds of up to 306 km/h and 21,000 km.

Then simply land, put the flying sports car back into drive mode, stow and lock the wings and tail safely, and head to your final destination.

For high-speed taxi tests, the vehicle’s wings were removed, so there was no chance of the vehicle taking off.

Sam Bousfield, CEO of Samson Sky and designer of the Switchblade, explains:

“Our test drivers ran the Switchblade from its fastest stride in 10th gear to 98 mph. This confirmed what the team saw with the instruments, video and engine computer data. The blade handled And it worked really well.”

According to Samson Sky, the Switchblade pre-order list has reached 2,100, with pre-orders in 52 countries and all 50 US states.

The company said: “Early adopters include NASA engineers, airline pilots, entrepreneurs and more. Recent FAA approvals have attracted 360 new bookings in recent weeks,” 58% of whom are not yet pilots.

“Artists dream of a future, and that future is full of flying cars,” says Bosfield.

“If you share this dream, Switchblade is made for you.”
