TL;DR Summary

The Switchblade, a flying car developed by Samson Sky, successfully completed its first test flight in Washington. The vehicle, which can reach speeds of 125 mph on the ground and is expected to fly at 190 mph, aims to provide high performance both in the sky and on the ground. However, mass production is still at least two years away, as the company is working on reducing the cost of manufacturing carbon fiber building materials. The estimated cost of a Switchblade VFR Kit is $170,000, while the IFR Kit is priced at $195,000. The vehicle requires a driver's license to operate on the ground and a private pilot certificate to fly. Samson Sky has received over 2,300 reservations from all 50 states and 57 countries.
