ENGINEERING firm Regent has announced the launch of the world’s first “seaglider” (pictured) – an electric flying machine set to transport passengers along the world’s coasts by 2025.
With more than US$450m in provisional orders worldwide, the project is financed by, among others, billionaire entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Aimed at airlines, ferry companies and even governments, the all-electric flying machine is pitched as combining the speed, comfort, and navigation systems of an aircraft with the convenience, maneuverability, and affordability of a boat.
It will be able to leverage existing docks, and transport pax at a speed of 290km/h.
