Revolutionary Flying Car Takes to the Skies in Historic Maiden Flight

Samson Sky's Switchblade flying car has successfully completed its first flight, reaching an altitude of 500 feet and staying airborne for six minutes. The three-wheeled vehicle, which requires a private pilot's license to fly and a driver's or motorcycle license to drive, can reach a maximum airspeed of 200 mph and a driving speed of 125+ mph. With a flying range of 450 miles, the Switchblade can take off from any airport and transform into a land-based vehicle within three minutes. Despite high demand, the flying car won't be available for another two years, with over 2,300 reservations already made. Prices range from $170,000 to $195,000, and safety features include a full vehicle parachute.
