Our 2026 test campaign is officially underway! After a winter spent improving the design, reviewing data, and pushing forward in simulation, our team is building momentum across the program as sea trials continue. Every test brings us closer to validating performance, sharpening capabilities, and bringing Seagliders into service. “Sea trials are where breakthrough engineering is tested, refined, and proven.” — Mike Klinker, REGENT co-founder and CTO Onwards to flight!

Our Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs) are the building blocks of the autonomous lab. This year we are doubling the size of Nebula, our autonomous lab in Boston, to 100 RACs. As we build and test the new RACs at our site in California, Rashard is making sure every detail is perfect.

While we continue to test and improve the efficiency of our ocean cleanup system, our objective this year is to scale up our river technology. By deploying Interceptors in 30 key cities, we aim to reduce the amount of plastic flowing from rivers to the ocean by up to one-third by 2030.

Setbacks happen in this business. What matters is how we respond. NASA is deploying experts to help determine root cause, support recovery efforts, and keep critical lunar systems moving forward. We are putting extreme focus on the lander to ensure timelines for the Artemis III orbital test mission remain on schedule. At NASA, we remain laser focused on our mission to return astronauts to the lunar surface before 2028. We test, we learn, we improve and we will never stop until the objective is achieved.

ICYMI: Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 is airborne. Nine months after flying our last aircraft, we already built and flew another — proving how fast this team can build, test, and fly high-speed aircraft. The work has just begun. With first flight complete, the campaign continues toward supersonic. Stay tuned.

Join us on our most recent trip to Minnesota! Typically we fly but due to the weather our flight was cancelled so we had to drive. Had some hiccups along the way with the rental car but we made it on time and Clark received his 18th dose of the treatment! We continue to be filled with hope that this treatment is halting the disease and changing the future for kids with this disease.

Take a glimpse into the future of air travel, where high-speed, unlimited, and complimentary internet is available for all passengers on every flight. Thanks to our partners at SpaceX Starlink for an unwavering support during the first testing of internet connectivity system on board. We expect to begin installing the product on our Airbus A220-300 fleet by year-end.

In 2025, we logged more than 79,000 nautical miles and over 15,000 hours of total operations with Corsair, our 24-ft ASV. Much of this was done on our own dime, operating 6 days a week at our test sites on the West Coast, East Coast, Gulf Coast, and beyond, allowing us to validate and advance our autonomy across diverse maritime environments, mission profiles, and real-world operating conditions. Not every day is perfect by design. We stress test our systems, push our vessels to their limits, and operate in challenging scenarios because that is how gaps are identified and performance improves. Every mile logged and every hour underway informs the next software update, the next design change, and the next operational improvement. If you aren’t finding issues quickly and fixing them expeditiously, you aren’t improving. This is how we advance maritime autonomy, fast. We build quickly, test and validate continuously, and iterate in real operating conditions so we can deliver capability that is proven, reliable, and ready to deliver to naval and maritime operators around the world.

We regularly fly up to four times a day (weather permitting) in a variety of flight profiles to demonstrate the capability of our aircraft and collect data in support of our certification program. Here's a snapshot of the flights we completed on one day earlier this month.

Our ground speed⚠️ test video on the PROTOTYPE: We ran the Turbojet engine at 60% throttle & No afterburner for this test⚠️. The UAV prototype started accelerating to about 80km/h, as it approached high speed, control became difficult & instability set in, leading to a crash, we will need to redo the wheel placements & weight distribution✅. The UAV weighs about 65kg fully loaded, although our engine was capable of propelling it, we will need to redesign the build to reduce weight by about 40% to make flight possible & stable, we will be exploring a full aluminum or composite material build. After the crash, the wheels jammed up & misaligned, making further runway tests impossible, the power of the engine made the jammed tyres screech on the tarmac. We did not exceed 60% throttle talk more of using Afterburner mode because of control instability. We have more work and improvements to make⚡️ Things to improve : We need to reduce the weight of the build by 40%✅ We need to redesign the wheel placement for better stability on high speed✅ Alot has been learned from this outing, we will redesign the prototype to improve stability & we'll be back again Hopefully, we may be able to attempt flight #Zedora #madeinEbonyi #madeinNigeria 🇳🇬

Over the past few months, our Midnight program has consistently delivered strong results. We're now routinely flying longer, faster & higher as we expand the aircraft’s operational envelope. Recent flights have exceeded 55 miles, more than 30 minutes of flight time, altitudes up to our 10,000-foot service ceiling, and speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour. These missions are providing valuable certification data, while closely mirroring the majority of mission profiles we expect in early urban deployment environments. Our next flight test phase with Midnight will be piloted VTOL, including full transition flights with our type certification intent four-blade aft propellers. Unlike the CTOL envelope that we are now close to completing testing on, the VTOL and transition flight regimes are not new for Midnight, as we have previously completed an extensive flight test campaign with Midnight without a pilot onboard. Our progression from non-piloted VTOL to piloted CTOL to piloted VTOL & CTOL campaigns is optimized for safety and disciplined execution that builds our readiness for commercial operations. The momentum continues to grow, and the team continues to deliver.

Our flight test engineering team sees aviation history in the making every day. Now, their mission is evolving. Following years of experimental flight testing and rigorous data analysis, we're proudly taking our aircraft through the final phase of the certification process—Type Inspection Authorization (TIA). This allows us to work alongside the FAA to demonstrate the hardware and software we have spent more than a decade engineering. Watch the full story of our pioneering flight test team on the YouTube link below ⬇️
