A £145,000 flying car has been approved for take-off. The Samson Switchblade has received the rubber stamp from the FAA, the US government aviation authority, to start flight testing.
After 14 years of development, the Switchblade is now conducting final high-speed taxi testing prior to flight testing. Oregon-based Samson Sky say 2,100 people have made reservations for the vehicle, which comes in a DIY kit form.
Each Switchblade Kit includes engine, transmission, avionics, interiors and Samson Builder Assist Program. The Switchblade is a three-wheel street-legal vehicle that you keep parked in your garage.
