Last month, Samson had the great opportunity to exhibit at the world’s leading composites show – JEC WORLD 2025 – in Paris, France. This huge event just celebrated their 60th year.
As you may recall, we shifted from making wings first to making the body first. The reasoning being that we could complete the body and be testing on the ground while we finished making the wings and tail. Then we bolt on wings and tail and do flight testing into the fall and early winter.
It is a New Year!
The Samson Sky Team hit the ground running as we entered 2025! January has been a very productive month. Here are some of the highlights for you!
Last year showed amazing progress as we pivoted from the original design that was test flown in November of 2023.
The Switchblade flying car is moving closer to production with a sleeker body, new tail design, and advanced composites for faster, greener manufacturing. Meet our expanded team, new motor partner, and see how we’re protecting flight surfaces.
Discover the new Switchblade flying car! With a sleeker body, smarter hybrid system, and exciting production progress, we’re closer than ever to first flight. Join us on the journey, reserve your spot, follow updates, or explore investment opportunities today.
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.
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.
