Samson Sky, the company behind the innovative Switchblade Flying Sports Car, has recently announced the acquisition of their seventh patent for the unique wing-swing design of the vehicle. This new patent, granted by the United Kingdom, adds to the company’s extensive intellectual property portfolio and further solidifies their position as a leader in the development of flying cars.
Sam Bousfield, the designer of the Switchblade and CEO of Samson Sky, highlighted the importance of these design patents as a vital safeguard for the company. He also revealed that there are more patents still in progress, showcasing the company’s commitment to continued innovation and protection of their unique designs.
“The patent covers our unique design that allows the wings and tail to fully retract into the vehicle, providing complete protection while driving, a feature which sets us apart from all other flying cars,” said Bousfield. “It is gratifying to see that our long-term strategy of patent coverage is bearing fruit.”
In addition to their recent patent acquisition, Samson Sky has also announced the launch of a crowdfunding campaign, following the successful official first flight of the Switchblade on November 9, 2023. The company aims to raise funds to move into the production phase for the Switchblade, offering both smaller investors and larger investors the opportunity to be part of this groundbreaking Technology.
James Mauch, a board member of Samson Sky, expressed the benefits of investing in the Switchblade, stating, “Investing in the Switchblade provides you with the potential of financial rewards, and knowledge that you are participating in something cutting edge and eco-friendly, as well as contributing to the future of transportation.”
The Switchblade is not only innovative in its design, but also in its eco-friendly technology. With a hybrid electric system that uses unleaded auto gas instead of leaded aviation fuel, the Switchblade offers high performance both on the road and in the air. It has demonstrated a maximum speed of 125+ mph on the ground and an estimated cruise speed of 160 mph while flying, making it a versatile and efficient mode of transportation.
The vehicle itself is a three-wheel, street-legal car that can be parked in a garage, and then driven to the nearest airport. Once there, the wings swing out and the tail extends in under three minutes, allowing the vehicle to transform into a flying car. It seats two people side-by-side and has room to store travel bags, offering the convenience of air travel with the flexibility of a private vehicle.
