While the upgraded body design went through the wind tunnel, which validated the aerodynamics of this new shape and propulsion system, there was always going to be room for styling the exterior to reflect the amazing performance of the vehicle.
As was mentioned in the last newsletter, the Switchblade flew last November and flew very well! The overall aerodynamics, flying qualities, slow speed handling, take off characteristics, landing ease, and more were just what we had hoped for.

We released the new enhanced body design of the Switchblade at AirVenture in late July, which drew an overwhelming number of incredible reviews and positive comments. We were told we won the unofficial “Brown Grass Award” for the amount of trampled grass around our displays.
