EAA Chapter 132

Not to be out done by the recent announcemet of the ‘roadable airplane’ from Terrafugia, Samson Motor Works has been developing an airplane that doubles as a motorcycle.

Referred to as a Multi Mode Vehicle (MMV), the Switchblade is their first design. The wings swing under the vehicle in to a protected shell for use on the road. It seats two in tandem and has a top speed of 95mph on the ground and 140mph in the air. Although a flying prototype does not exist yet, Samson plans to have ground only versions of their designs ready for early 2010.
