Regent's Electric Seaglider Takes to the Skies: A New Era of Sustainable Maritime Transportation
Flights with a one-quarter scale prototype Seaglider have been completed by Regent, which is releasing a full-scale mock-up.
Described as a new category of vehicle that is fast, efficient, & emission-free, the Seaglider leads the way in maritime transportation.
Set to take flight in 2024, Regent’s electric Seaglider can carry 12 passengers & 2 crew at a speed of 160 knots.
Called the Viceroy, Regent’s flagship Seaglider has a range of up to 180 miles, which is expected to increase to more than 450 miles with next-generation battery technology.
An $11 billion market is served by the Seagliders, which Regent projects to swell to as much as $25 billion as battery technology advances.
Providing a quick, low-cost, sustainable coastal travel solution, Regent is on a mission to change regional transportation for the better.
Regent‘s Electric Seaglider (RES) operates a few meters off the water’s surface, combining the high speeds of an aircraft with the low operating costs of a boat.
No flight plan or pilot’s log is needed, as the electric Seaglider is designed to be regulated & certified by maritime authorities.
REGENT completed the world’s first all-electric Seaglider flight with 3 modes of maritime operation, including floating, foiling, & flying.
