We are burning the midnight oil here, getting the needed funding in place to launch on construction of our flying prototype.  I am working intensively on some exciting collaborative efforts for Switchblade engines and alternate fuel technology.  At this stage this is all proprietary, but suffice it to say that these technologies will make our vehicles even more efficient and cost effective and will have applications far beyond that.

Unfortunately, with our team tied up with these critical projects, we cannot spare the personnel to attend Sun ‘N Fun in Lakeland, Florida, as we had planned.  This is a great event and we are disappointed to miss it.  We will just have to make up for it next year.  If you are at Sun ‘N Fun and anyone asks where the heck we are, please tell them briefly what we are doing and refer them to our new YouTube movies and website for an update on the Switchblade.

I hope you enjoyed our recent 60 second mini-movies, “Fast Lane” and “Mission Possible”.  Here are the links:

Samson Motors eNewsletter 3-7-2011
Sam was recently honored to be one of only six “National Design Leaders” chosen to speak at the AIA (American Institute of Architects) Minnesota’s Annual Lake Superior Design Retreat. This event took place on February 25th through the 26th and was attended by more than 120 architects and non-architects.

As many of you may not know, Sam earned a Bachelor of Science with Honors in Architecture from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, in 1979. Post-graduate studies included marketing and business management. Due to an interest in aviation, Sam became involved with a core group of Boeing engineers who utilized Sam’s conceptual ideas to advance aeronautical research. This relationship developed into several international scientific papers presented to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and with the Swedish government utilizing one of Sam’s designs to re-calibrate their wind tunnel through Mach 1.

We are happy to share with you our two new YouTube videos that were a real hit at the event!

Take a look and share them with your friends.
