Ever heard of the Samson Switchblade, well, it’s a self-assembled flying vehicle, soaring with a price tag of USD 167,900 (MYR 753,509).
First off, this flying vehicle has three wheels, and its size is suitable for a parking space or a normal garage. However, it needs to be self-assembled as it is sold in a DIY kit.

Each pack comes with an engine, transmission, avionics (flight electronics), cabin space and even the Samson Builder Assistance Program.
Once assembled, it can be driven on the road straight from home to the airport, where the wings and tail can be automatically removed in less than three minutes.

From the airport, it can be flown to the destination desired, and upon landing it can retransform to continue the journey in normal driving mode.
Outstandingly, during flight, the Samson Switchblade can reach speeds of up to 306 km/h, and an altitude of up to 21,000 km.

According to Samson Sky, the creator, 2,100 units of this flying vehicle have already been pre-ordered, of which came from 52 countries and all 50 states in America.
That said, after 14 years of development, it has finally received the approval it needs by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of America to begin flight tests.
