09 Jul 2024 | Abstracted from The Cool Down
Alaska Airlines - which announced plans in late 2023 to merge with Hawaiian Airlines - is one of those partners collaborating with innovative developer Regent to bring the all-electric, 12-passenger seaglider to market...the seaglider operates in three modes: float (when leaving the dock), hydrofoil (as it speeds up), and fly (once it hits open water)...next-generation batteries could increase the length of routes to as much as 500 miles per charge."
