UME will be first delivery customer of REGENT’s Monarch seaglider
REGENT Craft, the manufacturer of all-electric seagliders, announced that United Marine Egypt (UME) Shipping will be the first delivery customer of its 50-100-passenger Monarch seaglider, with delivery targeted before the end of the decade. This deal builds on UME’s existing order for the 12-passenger Viceroy seagliders.
The novel vessel is an all-electric hydrofoiling wing-in-ground (WIG) craft, which means it always operates in ground effect, a phenomenon that occurs within one wingspan of the surface of the water and provides increased aerodynamic efficiency, allowing it to travel further on a single charge.
The Monarch seaglider will travel up to 400 miles (650 km) at 140 mph (225 kph) with 50-100 passengers or a 22,000lbs (10,000kg) payload. The Viceroy seaglider will travel up to 180 miles (300 km) at 180 mph (300 kph) with 12 passengers or a 3,500lbs (1,600kg) payload.
