REGENT Craft reports completion of its Rhode Island Seaglider electric aircraft manufacturing centre

REGENT Craft, the developer and manufacturer of Seaglider electric aircraft, has the completion of the world’s first Seaglider Manufacturing Facility, located at 1 Seaglider Way in Quonset Business Park, North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Seaglider vessels are high-speed hydrofoiling wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft that operate in three modes: float, foil, and fly. They start on their hulls at slow speed, transition on hydrofoils once safely away from the dock, and take off in flight over the water within a wingspan of the surface, combining the speed of an aircraft with the convenience of a boat. The Seaglider Manufacturing Facility will serve as the global production hub for REGENT’s commercial order book, which exceeds USD10 billion across six continents, encompassing orders from airline and ferry operators worldwide. It will also support REGENT’s growing defence business, including USD15 million in contracts with the U.S. Marine Corps. Spanning 255,000 square feet, the facility features dedicated areas for structural assembly, wing and hydrofoil integration, battery and systems installation, and water-based test and acceptance operations, with tooling, metrology, and quality checkpoints embedded throughout, said the company. The facility’s location within Quonset Business Park provides direct waterfront access for sea trials, established logistics infrastructure, and proximity to Rhode Island’s skilled maritime and manufacturing workforce.
