Samson Sky, makers of the Switchblade flying sports car has announced it has begun fundraising to get into the production phase for its vehicle, using the crowdfunding platform Wefunder as the first step.
Key highlights of Samson Sky include: eco-friendliness – using unleaded auto fuel in place of leaded aviation fuel and hybrid electric transmission; non-toxic – carbon parts production is fully recyclable; production plans to scale across the U.S. and overseas; over 2,300 reservations from 57 countries and all 50 U.S. states; global patent strategy and USD 10 million raised prior to crowdfunding, orders of USD472 million and growing.
According to the company:
“The Switchblade is a three-wheel, street-legal vehicle that you keep parked in your garage. You drive it from your garage to a nearby airport. Once there, the wings swing out and the tail extends in under three minutes. You fly your registered aircraft to the airport nearest your destination, at up to 160mph. Then you simply land, transform your flying sports car back to driving mode – the wings and tail safely stowed and protected – and drive to your destination.”
