REGENT
REGENT is a company focused on developing and manufacturing all-electric Seaglider™ vessels, which are designed for fast and zero-emission coastal transportation. Founded by Billy Thalheimer and Mike Klinker, REGENT aims to enhance regional coastal travel by reducing costs, travel time, and environmental impact. The Seaglider operates just above the water surface, achieving speeds up to 180 mph with a range of 180 miles, and future advancements could extend this range to 400 miles. The Seaglider combines the speed of an airplane with the convenience of a boat, utilizing hydrofoils for takeoff and landing. This design enhances operational efficiency and wave tolerance. REGENT's technology meets safety standards for both aircraft and watercraft, integrating advanced propulsion systems and hydrofoil technology. The company targets everyday travelers, commuters, and commercial operators, with a significant backlog of orders valued at over $10 billion and a $15 million contract with the U.S. Marine Corps. Backed by prominent investors, REGENT has raised over $100 million in funding to support its innovative transportation solutions.
