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.”

Further, his recently released Vertical Take-Off (VTOL) vehicle designs have won support and admiration from leading logistics companies. Advanced aerodynamic engineering studies show the remotely piloted VTOL vehicles capable of storing records for VTOL capability.

The inspiring event was hosted by Dr. Vijay G.

Bousfield was one of 20 awardees from across the U.S., all of whom are trailblazers being recognized by the U.S. Congress for achievements in their respective fields, and which are making a global impact.

“My basic purpose is simply to help people,” stated Bousfield. “I just have a technically oriented way of doing that. Switchblade helps people save half the time on their regional travel, so they’re spending less time on the road. This gives them more time to do what they want to do, whether it’s business or pleasure, or spending time with family.” He further stated, about his VTOL vehicle plans, “The VTOL aircraft will help businesses move their goods faster and more securely to keep up with the rapid pace of the electronic age.”
