Ep.43: Regent: Futuristic Sea Travel Now With Billy Thalheimer, CEO & Mike Klinker, CTO | VC | Electric Aircraft
Manage episode 323723012 series 3291120
Seagliders! When 40% of people worldwide live by the coast, offering innovative transport solutions is a surefire winner. That’s what Regent is betting on.
Imagine short, fast flights over the water, shredding travel times between hubs like Boston and New York. Billy and Mike are turning that dream into a reality with Regent and more specifically with their 100% electric, zero emission, low-cost seagliders.
Joe, Billy and Mike get into the weeds of electric versus traditional aircraft engines, how they’re creating regional, coastal, high comfort travel, and why they believe Regent will reduce the cost and headache of regional transportation.
You’ll hear how underwater fins and hydrofoil tech combine to create maritime vessels that cruise just a few feet over the water and how the automated flight system works.
