Wings and tail fully protected on the ground. Advanced flight instruments and customizable digital dashboard. SkyBrid ™ electric drive system. Welcome to the Future!

Sam Bousfield (holding patent document) and Samson in-house engineering team. The Switchblade flying sports car is the first of its kind. 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 the destination - at up to 200 mph and 13,000 feet.

The Switchblade: Fly to save time or simply to view the beauty of the world from above. Drive when it isn't safe to fly, or when you want to see things up-close and personal. The Switchblade is always available in your own garage, allowing you to leave your old life behind and seek new adventure.

"It is gratifying to see that our long-term strategy of patent coverage is bearing fruit," stated Bousfield. "This patent covers our unique design that allows the wings and tail to fully retract into the vehicle, providing complete protection while driving, a feature which sets us apart from all other flying cars."

In addition, Samson has begun crowdfunding, after announcing their official first flight on November 9, 2023. Crowdfunding allows smaller investors the ability to invest in new technology, along with bigger investors, and the Wefunder platform is their first step towards moving into the production phase for the Switchblade.
