US Marines back Regent's Viceroy seaglider with $10M to advance sea‑air mobility The US Marine Corps has invested $10 million in Regent’s Viceroy seaglider — a wingborne, electric sea‑air vehicle designed to carry passengers and cargo just above the water using ground‑effect/wingborne lift. Backers say the platform could reshape coastal mobility and naval logistics with faster, lower‑emission, and potentially autonomous transport.
