Key Takeaways:

At the moment, the flying car has as many skeptics as believers. But the truthers made their presence known at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, last month.

At the air show, flying car manufacturer Samson Sky garnered record orders of its street legal Switchblade, expected to be able to both drive on highways and take off and fly from airports. The company added 115 Switchblade orders to its books, which, at about $170,000 per vehicle, would represent nearly $22 million in value.
