Samson Sky Switchblade

About the Samson Sky Switchblade

The Samson Sky Switchblade from Samson Sky is a Flying Sports Car (Kit-Built) that forms part of the emerging advanced air mobility market of 2024-2026. Electric and hybrid-electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft like the Samson Sky Switchblade are designed to move people and cargo through the air with far lower noise and emissions than conventional helicopters, opening up air taxi, personal flight and roadable aircraft applications that were not previously practical. Samson Sky is developing the programme with a focus on certification, safety and real-world operations rather than concept demonstrations alone.
