Electric wing-in-ground-effect vessels for high-speed coastal transit
REGENT builds Seaglider craft—electric vessels that operate in ground effect, combining airplane speed with boat convenience. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first, simulation-heavy organization: Jama Connect and Polarion for requirements management, MATLAB and Simulink for dynamics modeling, PyTorch and TensorFlow for perception algorithms, plus traditional CAD (NX, SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and embedded systems (C/C++, STM32, Arduino). Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering (17 roles), with a notable intern cohort (8), suggesting both rapid prototyping and structured onboarding for a pre-production vehicle program.
REGENT designs and develops Seaglider vessels—electric wing-in-ground-effect craft marketed as regional transportation between coastal destinations. The 12-passenger Viceroy model targets routes up to 180 miles at 180 mph using current battery technology, with extended range planned for future battery improvements. The company operates from North Kingstown, Rhode Island, with 51–200 employees and is currently scaling from prototype testing and certification work toward production. Active projects span simulation stack development, test campaigns, vehicle certification, supply chain infrastructure, and perception systems—a profile consistent with a hardware company in the pre-certification, pre-production phase.
REGENT manufactures Seaglider vessels—electric wing-in-ground-effect craft. The Viceroy model carries 12 passengers at 180 mph over routes up to 180 miles on existing battery technology, scaling to 400 miles with next-gen batteries.
Engineering-focused: Jama Connect and Polarion for requirements, MATLAB/Simulink for dynamics, PyTorch/TensorFlow for perception, NX/SolidWorks for CAD, C/C++/Python for embedded and algorithm development, and STM32/Arduino microcontrollers.
