The Seaglider era has begun! This morning in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, the Viceroy Seaglider prototype, crewed by two captains, flew a distance of 1,956 ft (596 m) at a height of 33 ft (10m) above the water for 30 seconds.
‘World’s first’ crewed flying boat completes maiden flight: Regent Craft's Seaglider, a 12-passenger electric vessel that floats, hydrofoils, then flies just above the water using ground effect, carried two people for a 30-second test flight over Narragansett Bay.
Regent is pitching it as a new mode of coastal transport, with proposed routes already planned between cities like New York, Boston, Miami, and nearby destinations.
