A seaplane pushing wave tolerance to its max. 🌊 Check out this Twin Otter in its max sea state of about 2 ft. Bouncing and bobbing over the waves until it just barely gets airborne, and that’s only because of a significant headwind. Landing in these conditions would be even more choppy. But in the scheme of ocean waves, these are relatively tiny! This is the key differentiator of REGENT’s Seaglider. Using hydrofoils to takeoff and a deep-V hull to land, a Seaglider of the same size and weight can operate in 5ft seas. This unlocks operations in the vast majority of conditions around the world.

Back on the water with the Viceroy prototype. Man I love this job. I'm not sure people realize just how big this vehicle is... something you need to see in person.

Float➡️Foil➡️Fly - we proved it again and again with our quarter scale prototype with over a year of flight testing under our belts. Gives us the experience and confidence to put humans onboard our FULL SCALE prototype - taking flight later this summer!
