Electric wing-in-ground-effect seagliders for coastal regional travel
REGENT builds all-electric seagliders that fly just above the water between coastal destinations. Its stack pairs aerospace certification tooling (DO-178C, ARINC 429, IBM DOORS, Jama Connect, Polarion) with embedded and perception tech (RTOS, STM32, CUDA, OpenCV, PyTorch), which points to safety-critical avionics development. Accelerating, engineering-led hiring alongside manufacturing roles and repeated prototype-to-production pains show a company moving from test vehicles toward low-rate production.
REGENT, founded in 2020 and headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, develops Seaglider vessels, a class of wing-in-ground-effect craft that combine aircraft speed with boat-style docking. Its 12-passenger Viceroy model targets coastal routes using existing dock infrastructure and battery-electric propulsion. The privately held company employs 51–200 people and hires in the United States. Its team blends aerospace and maritime engineering disciplines, with additional functions in manufacturing, operations, security and government relations.
REGENT uses C++, Python, MATLAB, Simulink, RTOS, LabVIEW, CUDA, OpenCV, PyTorch and TensorFlow, plus DO-178C, ARINC 429, IBM DOORS, Jama Connect, Polarion, NX, NetSuite and SAP.
REGENT is ramping up Viceroy and Squire manufacturing, developing flight-capable seaglider hardware, running sea, air and perception test campaigns, and building a federal government relations strategy.
