I imagine there are no comments since this is good news and good news is ignored on this forum.

Thanks! A 12 passenger 180 mph electric ground effect seaplane. I can get to Martha’s Vineyard in 10 minutes.

Good news indeed. I don't think I read in the article where in Rhode Island the company is based? Or where the vehicles will be manufactured.

Under one of the pictures it says "Full-sized prototype unveiled on Friday in North Kingstown".

And an article from June 2022 -- Could This “Seaglider” Company Be Moving From Boston to RI—and Bringing 600 Jobs? -- says "the company is looking to locate at Quonset".

That said, their website -- https://www.regentcraft.com/faq -- says "REGENT is currently headquartered outside of Boston, MA". Maybe they haven't updated it.

Just because the company is local, that doesn't necessarily mean there will be seagliders around here. It looks like most of the pre-orders are going to Japan.

Are you aware that there's no Jersey Mike's on the Rock?

A seaglider is about 20 million dollars.

the usual suspects are back to their crime reports..... this constant spamming ruins this entire forum- but of course they are doing it deliberately to ruin the forum.
