Developed by REGENT in Rhode Island, USA, these underwater vehicles operate in three phases: initial floatation, gliding on hydrofoils as they gain speed, and flying up to 30 feet above the water, leveraging ground effect for energy efficiency.
With a capacity of up to 12 passengers and a range of over 280 kilometers, seagliders are set to compete directly with ferries and seaplanes in coastal services.

REGENT also plans to expand its production to Abu Dhabi, facilitating connections between islands and coastal cities that are currently underserved.
Additionally, future plans include launching a larger version, the Monarch, capable of carrying up to 100 passengers, subject to advancements in battery technology for a range of up to 800 kilometers.
