The US Federal Aviation Administration has granted Samson Sky permission to begin air tests of the Samson Switchblade tricycle.
This was reported by New Atlas, according to Ukrinform reports.
Samson Switchblade has been in development for 14 years. The car is equipped with a three-cylinder 1.6-liter engine with 190 horsepower.
When the 125-liter tank is completely full, the vehicle can travel up to 724 kilometers.
The company claims that the cruising speed of the device is 257 km / h, and the maximum speed is 322 km / h. If used on the road, the maximum speed will not exceed 201 km/h.
A three-wheeled flying car would need a runway 335 meters long for takeoff and 213 meters long for landing.
The cost of one copy starts at $150,000, and the company has already received at least 1,670 pre-orders.
As Ukrinform reports, the American company Lift Aircraft presented the HEXA flying car.
