What is known about it
The switchblade flying car has already received permission to fly, so the development team is now preparing for testing. Up until this moment, Samson Sky had been going for 14 long years.
The new mode of transport got its name due to the fact that its wings open under the two-seater cabin when it’s time to fly. The tail also has an intricate design and when not needed it folds up and hides in the back of the car.
