Overview
Our mission is to drastically reduce the cost and headache of regional transportation between coastal cities. Our vehicle, called the Seaglider, is a wing-in-ground-effect craft that flies just above the water's surface and couples the high speed of an airplane with the convenience of a boat, all at the low cost of an all-electric system. Built to the same safety standards of modern aircraft and watercraft, our vehicle will service routes up to 180 miles at 180 mph with existing battery technology, and routes up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries, all via existing dock infrastructure. Backed by the same investors who support SpaceX, Anduril, and Archer Aviation, our team of passionate, forward-thinking builders combines the best of aerospace and maritime expertise to turn zero-emission, high-speed coastal travel into reality.
