Move Over George Jetson, Flying Cars Are Coming To Minnesota Roads And Skies!

ST. PAUL, MN – Minnesota is paving the way for a revolutionary change in transportation with the recent passage of a groundbreaking law that includes provisions for flying cars, also known as roadable aircraft. This bipartisan transportation bill package, signed into law by Governor Tim Walz, marks a significant step towards the integration of flying cars into our daily lives.

Is this what Minnesota’s future will look like?

🛣️ Driving on the Ground, Flying in the Sky

The new legislation allows roadable aircraft to be registered in the state, granting them permission to use Minnesota’s roads and highways. However, these vehicles must adhere to the same rules as other vehicles while driving on public roads. Taking off from or landing on public roads is strictly prohibited, except in emergency situations, as per existing aircraft regulations.

🌎 Minnesota Joins New Hampshire in Embracing Flying Cars

Minnesota is not alone in its efforts to accommodate flying cars. In 2020, New Hampshire became the first state to pass legislation for the registration of roadable aircraft, referred to as the “Jetson Bill.” Both states have received input from various flying car companies, including Samson Sky, Terrafugia, and PAL-V, demonstrating the growing interest and collaboration between the industry and lawmakers.

🌟 The Switchblade: A Game-Changer in Flying Cars

One of the most promising flying cars on the horizon is the Samson Sky Switchblade, a flying sports car that completed its maiden flight in November 2023. The Switchblade boasts a unique hybrid electric system that runs on unleaded auto gas, making it convenient for owners to refuel at any gas station. With its reasonable price and high performance in both driving and flying modes, the Switchblade has garnered reservations from over 50 countries worldwide.

🔋 Skybrid: Powering the Future of Flying Cars

Samson Sky’s Skybrid hybrid electric drive system is a groundbreaking technology that sets the stage for future all-electric versions of the Switchblade. This innovative system, found in no other vehicle on Earth, promises to revolutionize the way we travel, offering a seamless transition between driving and flying.

🌄 Envisioning a World with Flying Cars

Imagine a future where you can simply pull out of your garage, drive your street-legal flying car to a nearby airport, transform it from driving to flying mode, and take to the skies. With a range of up to 500 miles on a single tank of gas, the Switchblade and other flying cars have the potential to transform the way we travel, making long-distance trips more efficient and convenient than ever before.

🚀 The Future of Transportation: Flying Cars in Minnesota

As Minnesota and other states continue to embrace the concept of flying cars, it is clear that we are on the cusp of a transportation revolution. With companies like Samson Sky leading the charge, the dream of flying cars is rapidly becoming a reality, promising to change the way we live, work, and explore our world. Happy travels!
