REGENT SEAGLIDER: “FLIES LIKE A PELICAN, FLOATS LIKE A FEATHER”
As the all-electric revolution takes hold in the aviation industry, Seagliders are the next form of transport with an eye to a future zero-carbon world, reports axis.com.
U.S-based Regent are looking to construct flying boats of yonder, but with a twist which includes a green-friendly powertrain and a new name, Seagliders, offering the public fast, low-altitude flights in coastal communities like the Hawaiian Islands. Billy Thalheimer, co-Founder and CEO of Seaglider startup, Regent Craft, enthused, “It’s a space race all over again.”
Thalheimer co-Founded Regent, alongside Mike Klinker, after years spent as an aerospace program manager, business development leader and engineer that included working at Aurora Flight Sciences. He is experienced in leading all aspects of aircraft development from napkin sketches to detailed performance analysis and production, culminating in flight test and operations.
