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 🌊✈️

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!
