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. The event took place on Thursday, December 11, and was attended by several members of the United States Congress.



Bousfield received the GSA Global Innovator Award 2025 from U.S. Representative Danny K. Davis (Illinois), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and Ranking Member of the Worker and Family Support Subcommittee.

Following the award presentation, U.S. Representative Jonathan L. Jackson (Illinois), a member of both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Agriculture Committee, presented Bousfield with a U.S. Congressional Medallion along with an official U.S. Congressional Proclamation.

The awards recognize Bousfield’s leadership and achievements surrounding the recent launch of the Switchblade Flying Car. The Congressional Proclamation highlights the significance of his work, stating:

“Bousfield had created what is arguably the only viable flying car ever produced. It meets three key requirements: high performance in both modes, reasonable price, and full protection of the wings and tail on the ground to provide safety and insurability while driving.”
