Things are getting real - integration has begun! 🏗️ The full scale Viceroy #seaglider prototype is on-track for sea trials by end of year. Hands on hardware at @regentcraft!
Happy #flagday at @regentcraft. I’d put my flag up at home, but my house is being painted. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looking forward to explaining what is a @regentcraft seaglider and why build one on Tuesday at the @GMTResearch Zero Emissions Ferries - East conference in Arlington.
It was great to talk about @regentcraft seagliders at the Ship Operations Cooperative Program (SOCP) meeting this week at @mitags_maritime. Lots of interesting presentations and discussions about new technologies, decarbonization, and the US mariner workforce.
On days like this, it's hard to believe that REGENT is only 3 years old. We've come so far but the journey's just begun. The real work starts now. #floatfoilfly #seriesa #seagliders #startuplife
All the hard work of getting our sub-scale prototype to float-foil-fly has paid off and now we have $60M to build a full scale prototype and fly humans onboard next year. Work is already underway!

It is a truly monumental day for @regentcraft – I’m ecstatic to announce our $60M Series A! From our earliest days, we were told this round may be the hardest money we ever raise. I wont go as far to say its “easy” to build a sub-scale, proof-of-concept demonstrator, but many…
Huge news! A $60M Series A for @regentcraft and a partnership with Japan Airlines (@JAL_Official_jp) to advance seagliders in Japan. Great coverage by @CNBC here

Make runway safety equipment NORSEE (Non-Required Safety Enhancing Equipment) like AoA indicators for part 23. The avionics “safety” fiefdom in FAA drives up certification costs to unbelievable levels. For a while putting ownship position on an airport chart was a “major” risk.

What a wild Friday... ⚙️ Years of engineering and test experience 🎟 200+ VIP guests 🤩 1 epic unveiling of our real-life, full-scale #seaglider mockup So much to say on this enormous moment for @regentcraft - I'll share! 🧵👇
It was so exciting to be a part of the seaglider unveiling today! Great to show off what we’ve been working on at @regentcraft.

This is absolutely **bonkers.** During a botched training exercise, FBI agents barged into a Delta pilot’s hotel room near Boston Logan Airport, then handcuffed and interrogated him. Good local reporting by @wbz here.

Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce that our #seaglider prototype has unlocked a new capability: Float, Foil, FLOCK!
Epic evening at Hill & Valley Forum - co-sponsored by REGENT 🇺🇸 With bi-partisan leadership, the nation's top dual-use and deep-tech investors, & amazing founders in attendance, it was hard not to be excited! Too cool to see our #seaglider center stage at Library of Congress 🤩
