I get so incredibly hyped when I think about the awesome progress REGENT has made over the past few months. Building and testing hardware in the real world is hard - so it makes it all the more sweet when things work. We now have our drone Seaglider - Squire - doing fully autonomous operations and carrying payloads at military exercises. Huge effort by our software and perception teams to get Squire reliably doing end-to-end missions itself. We’ve gotten our large platform - the Viceroy prototype - all the way up to takeoff speed at ~50 mph! The level of engineering precision, control redundancy, and safety architecture is just unbelievable. And - in prep for our big next step of production - we opened our quarter-million sqft manufacturing facility. Right now its a big empty canvas. Soon we’ll fill it wall-to-wall with Seaglider production. Team is rolling on all cylinders. This is why I got into this industry. Could not be more excited about what’s ahead.

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.

Enter the seaglider era. The world's first seaglider has hit the water! Room for 12 passengers and 100% battery powered. The test vehicle is human-crewed from Day 1. 65ft wingspan 15,000 lbs Sea Trials are underway! So proud of this team. Flight coming this summer 🌊✈️

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!

Float -> Foil 🛫 Transitioning smooth and controlled! We do this maneuver over and over and test at different speeds to ensure we fully characterize the automatic control system.
