The Samson Switchblade, a fast, street-legal three-wheeler that converts at the touch of a button into a 200-miles-per-hour airplane, has been approved for airworthiness by the FAA. The team is now preparing for flight tests. The Switchblade is named after the knife-like way its wings swing out from beneath its two-seat cabin when it's time to fly. The tail, swings out from where it's stowed behind the large pusher prop, then unfolds into a generous T shape. Samson says the entire push-button conversion from street-legal trike to aircraft takes less than three minutes, and while it's yet to demonstrate the entire process on a physical prototype, it looks like it'll be a pretty spectacular process. #Flyingcar #Switchblade #aircraft
