O que REGENT faz
REGENT is building a new mode of transportation that will redefine regional mobility by 2026. Their first product, the seaglider, is an all-electric, hydrofoiling flying-boat that operates within a wingspan of the water's surface. By flying low on a cushion of air, seagliders unlock the ability to fly twice as far as an electric aircraft, while being regulated by maritime authorities enabling market entry for a fraction of the cost. REGENT has de-risked seaglider technology with a ¼-scale flying demonstration vehicle. By this summer, REGENT will fly humans on the 15,000 lb (7000kg) first full-scale prototype seaglider, which will be the largest electric-flying machine in history. By late 2026, REGENT’s customers - airlines and ferry companies - will begin commercial seaglider service on the 12-seat initial product. A 100 passenger version, already with firm orders, will follow several years later. In just four years, REGENT has accumulated >$10B in pre-orders (including firm deposits) from airlines and ferry companies around the world. Currently a team of 100, REGENT is led by MIT-trained, ex-Boeing engineers Billy Thalheimer and Mike Klinker. REGENT has raised over $100M to date from the likes of Founders Fund, Japan Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Lockheed Martin, and is on contract with the US Marine Corps.

Company
REGENT
All-electric seagliders for fast regional transport
We are building seagliders - fully electric, hydrofoiling flying boats that fly just above the water's surface. They combine the efficiency of electric aircraft with the operational simplicity of boats, regulated by maritime authorities. Our first product is a 12-seat seaglider aimed at regional airlines and ferry operators, with a 100-passenger model in development.
We are based in North Kingstown, RI and plan to keep the company there after YC.
North Kingstown gives us access to maritime testing grounds and a concentration of aerospace and marine engineering talent. It also lets us work closely with regulatory bodies relevant to our seaglider product.
