Samson Sky
Developer of the Switchblade flying car in Salt Lake City, Utah
About Samson Sky
Samson Sky is a company developing the Switchblade, a three-wheel flying sports car. It is based in the United States. Its founder and CEO is Sam Bousfield, a native of Nevada City, California. The site describes the Switchblade as an experimental aircraft that drives on roads and flies from a local airport.
The Switchblade is a street legal, three-wheel vehicle. The owner drives it from a garage to a nearby local airport. Then the wings swing out and the tail extends in under three minutes. The site says it flies up to 200 mph and 13,000 feet. The site says a 10-hour regional trip can take about 3.5 hours door to door.
The FAA classifies the vehicle in the Experimental Category. The site says owners must build 51 percent of the vehicle. The company offers a Builder Assist Program, included at no extra charge and valued at $20,000. The site says the program lets an owner finish their part of the build in about one week. The site also says the FAA does not certify this category of aircraft.
The site says the company is developing a hybrid drive system called SkyBrid. It says the production vehicle has an upgraded body design.
The site's news section says that in September 2026 the company reported $80 million in funding for a first production facility in the US. Other 2026 updates include radiator testing, tail assembly work, and the hiring of staff and contractors for production.
The phone number is 855-772-6766. The site has a general contact form, investor and media request links, and a reserve or deposit option.
