Πis about Switchblade by Samson Sky, which is manufactured and tested here and 14 years, is now ready for its next set of tests. This flying vehicle built in Oregon, USA is now ready for road and air testing, as well as from July 15The US Federal Aviation Administration, decided it was safe to begin flight testing.

As you can see, this flying car might it's just a few weeks away from its official launch in the US market.

The Switchblade designed to offer all the comforts of a luxury car, including its hybrid electric propulsion system, offering a smooth journey through the air. When it lands, its wings fold into the sides of the car. The tests at Switchblade have been accelerated since last year in anticipation of FAA hurdles to its certification.

The Switchblade, which accommodates up to two people and can reach maximum altitude of 16.000 feetwith maximum cruise speed at 160 mph. This height is low enough for the pilot and passenger to enjoy the view, while the wings allow the aircraft to move from the ground to the air in a seamless transition, without the vehicle needing to stop its course.

The only thing that remains to be clarified now, is how the owners of the vehicle will be able to insure it with a company, since so far no relevant insurance package for flying cars has been created by the insurance companies.
