A year after it was pronounced airworthy by the FAA, and 14 years after it was first announced, the Samson Sky Switchblade is officially off the ground. This street-legal three-wheeler converts to a 200-mph (320-km/h) airplane at the touch of a button.
While cool…I just don’t see the use? It’s a crappy plane and a crappy car.
Most people with small planes land at little airports and many have a courtesy car.
I can’t imagine landing a little plane that can barely take passengers or cargo at a regional airport and then driving it on the road.
I’d think it’s SUPER light too…so is it safe on the road?
