Co-founder & CEO @regentcraft: Building the future of maritime mobility one Seaglider at a time https://t.co/28YiRyxsVH

Even experienced seaplane pilots can have difficulty landing despite calm waters. This is why Seagliders have digital flight control systems that autonomously land and position the Seaglider for a safe, comfortable landing. The deep-V hull also sheds more of the wave energy vs the slapping impact of a planing hull like on these floats. And the foils help track the Seaglider straight in landing vs what happened in this landing skipping around uncontrollably.

Squire is just a badass machine. Recently back from a military exercise where we demonstrated electronic warfare capabilities carrying communications and sensing equipment. Big unlock to combine the speed of a UAV with the infinite on-station time of a USV. Best of both worlds: the first USA-V 🇺🇸

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!
