Happy Thursday!
Well, we covered
this REGENT Craft Inc. in a blog back in March, when the company had a milestone
and made history with its sea trials with their electric seaglider which resembles
a sea bird. We have a follow-up to the
story.
Did anyone
happen to read the gCaptain Daily Newsletter on June 27, 2025, their
article titled, “Viceroy Seaglider Takes Flight -Sort Of- in the First Crewed
Foil Test”? In the article, it spoke on how
REGENT Craft Inc. has made an achievement in maritime transportation
with their full-size model, a 14-person Viceroy electric seaglider
named “Paladin” where they tested their foil-mode at sea. The seaglider is all-electric
airborne vehicle which is 55 feet long and has a wingspan of 65 feet, it has a
range of 160 nautical miles (approx. 184 miles) on a charge and can travel at
speeds up to 180 MPH. “Paladin” is using
an advanced automatic control systems which should allow the seaglider to reach
speeds of 50 knots and it was tested for the first time with a crew where they attained
transitional speeds in foil mode. REGENT
Craft Inc. is hoping to have a crewed flight later in the Summer once they
have attained full foil speeds. We wish them continued luck and success! If you would like to read more of the gCaptain’s
