Samson Sky's Switchblade flying car has received updates after its first flight. The prototype demonstrated a maximum ground speed of 201 km/h. The Switchblade is a 2-seater vehicle with a fixed wing. When arriving at the runway, Switchblade easily switches into flight mode. The process of opening the wings and extending the tail takes only 3 minutes. The vehicle is capable of taking off and landing on small airfields using a hybrid propulsion system powered by conventional gasoline with a range of up to 805 km. The new design takes into account the test results of the previous prototype. In particular, the rear propellers now fold into the hull, which improves aerodynamic performance and allows to reach a cruising speed of 257 km/h. The Switchblade's assembly process has also been simplified. The company is currently working on three new prototypes that will be tested in the air and on the ground over the next 18 months. The cost of the flying car is expected to start at $170,000
