It’s a boat, it’s a plane, it’s REGENT’s Seafarer | E2205

So how do you manage to have a thing that flies and doesn't use airports? It feels like you've hacked the system. We are creating a fundamentally new vehicle. It it goes fast. It flies low. It's sort of operating in this different way. Sea gliders are sort of hybrids of boats and planes, so we use the best of both worlds. We'll go from Providence here to New York. That's about a 180 miles. We can do that on battery technology. So you're gonna board right next to the city center. We don't need to travel to an airport. It's floating at the dock like a boat. Then we're gonna hydrofoil through the harbor or through the bay. We're going up to about 50 miles an hour on those hydrofoils to maneuver through the crowded waterways.
