"The seagliders, which fly port-to-port about 60 feet over the ocean, won't be ready to fly for a few more years...The seagliders can carry 12 passengers and two crew as well as 3,500 pounds of cargo, according to Regent. The gliders can cruise at 180 mph and travel 160 nautical miles...They'll initially be tested in Hawaii carrying packages and cargo so people can get used to them before tickets go on sale for passengers."
