The promise of urban air mobility rests on a deceptively simple premise: electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft will revolutionize city transportation by bypassing ground congestion. Yet while eVTOL manufacturers race to certify their aircraft, a more intractable challenge lurks beneath the surface.
etson Aero has started serial deliveries of the Jetson One eVTOL in the United States. The aircraft can be flown without a pilot’s license, demand is fully booked through 2027, and prices have increased.
Most discussions around Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) focus on aircraft.
Range, speed, autonomy, battery density, noise levels. These topics dominate headlines, investor decks, and public conversations. They are also largely the wrong place to look.
Sam Bousfield, CEO of Samson Sky and designer of the Switchblade Flying Car, was the honored recipient of the GSA Global Innovator Award 2025 during a Congressional ceremony held on Capitol Hill.

Samson Sky, makers of the Switchblade Flying Car, just announced they have signed a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Saudi Aviation Club.
