Revolutionizing Travel with Flying Cars

Business Plan

Samson Sky’s Switchblade is solving regional travel challenges with the world’s first commercially viable flying car. By combining driving and aviation capabilities, the vehicle simplifies short-to-mid-distance travel while saving time. The company generates revenue from vehicle sales, parts, branded merchandise, and customer training programs. The solution is scalable, targeting high-performance enthusiasts and non-pilots alike, with a global customer base spanning over 57 countries and all 50 U.S. states.

Competitive Advantage

Switchblade’s unique design ensures its flying surfaces are fully protected while driving—eliminating insurance hurdles and making it practical for everyday use. The vehicle has successfully achieved 125 mph on land and wind tunnel tests indicate cruising speeds of 160 mph in the air. Samson Sky’s proprietary carbon fiber production reduces costs by 50% and speeds up manufacturing 8x, setting it apart in efficiency and scalability. No other flying car on the market matches this combination of high performance and practicality.

Traction

Samson Sky leads the emerging flying car industry with over 2,400 reservations worldwide, including 127 fully paid pre-orders. Its diverse customer base includes NASA test pilots, Boeing engineers, and other aviation professionals—further validating product demand and credibility. The company recently completed the Switchblade’s official first flight, marking a major milestone and proving readiness for production.

Why Now

Advancements in carbon fiber manufacturing and favorable FAA regulations have made the Switchblade possible now. The personal aviation market is projected to grow at a 5.15% CAGR, offering significant economic opportunity. Increasing acceptance of innovative transportation, accelerated by brands like Tesla, aligns with shifting consumer expectations. With production nearing, Samson Sky is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this momentum.

Why This Industry

Regional travel inefficiencies and long commutes are driving demand for flexible, time-saving solutions. Samson Sky’s Switchblade addresses this gap with a flying car tailored for personal transportation. The global aviation sector, projected to reach 396.15 billion by 2029, demonstrates consistent demand for next-generation travel options.
