Startup Regent has successfully tested its boat and airplane hybrid
Electric gliders from REGENT can replace traditional ferries in sea travel. The new hybrid has been named Seagliders.
The glider can carry passengers both by water and air at a height of 9 meters. It will gain speed with the help of special underwater wings, which fold up when the vehicle enters the full flight phase. Once the hybrid reaches its final destination, it will be able to remain parked just like any other vessel in the port.
The first gliders are planned to seat 12 passengers and have a range of up to 290 kilometers. They will provide communication between islands in Hawaii and along the coastline of Miami, through Key West and to the Bahamas. The cost per trip will range from $50-80.
