Ocean Flyer | Seaglider Savvy - Episode 9 - Why Seagliders?
In Episode 9 we're learning why REGENT is developing the seaglider, and how this new mode of transport is set to be a game changer for regional transportation.
REGENTโs seagliders will combine multiple existing technologies from today, to create a sustainable transport option for the future.
Hydrofoil technology, perhaps most famously known for its use in the America's Cup, will play a key role in ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride for the passengers.
Battery technology has improved significantly over the past few years, allowing electric propulsion to be a viable energy source for powering the seagliders, creating zero-emissions and being fully sustainable.
Fly-by-wire control systems have also seen significant improvements in recent years, meaning this technology can be utilised in seagliders to enable the pilots to operate them safely and reliably.
The culmination of the development of these technologies means the time is ripe for seagliders to be developed, enter the market, and revolutionise the way transport is done.
Seaglider Savvy is our new multi-part video series where you get to find out everything you need to know about seagliders, Ocean Flyer and REGENT as our CEO Shah Aslam sits down with CTO and co-founder of REGENT Mike Klinker.
Stay tuned for Episode 10 of Seaglider Savvy dropping next week! ๐
