Upgrade!
Recent developments at Samson have given us a
new way to get airborne. The new scissors wing design shaves 200 lb
weight while allowing greater range and lower maintenance cost. The
wings swing closed under the belly of the vehicle, protected from
road grunge and rock dings by a clamshell case and a structural keel
that takes impacts. The Ferrari-inspired clean shape is slowed on landings by
the use of slotted flaps. Larger rear wheels are located far aft to
provide room for the main wings to swing closed, the the nose wheel
strut extends four degrees for
take-off attitude you literally fly the plane off the runway
without rotating!
Side-by-side seating, more range, less weight,
slower landing speed, room for golf clubs, and a wide cabin. The
Switchblade has it all!
