About
Eviation is an Israeli-American electric aviation company founded in 2015 that is developing Alice, a nine-passenger all-electric commuter aircraft designed for short regional routes. The company successfully conducted Alice's maiden flight in 2022, making it one of the first all-electric commuter aircraft to achieve first flight. Alice targets the regional aviation market serving routes of up to 440 miles with zero direct carbon emissions, running on three electric motors powered by a large battery system. Eviation has secured over 300 orders and commitments from regional airlines and charter operators including Cape Air and Global Crossing Airlines. The company raised over $200M and relocated its headquarters to Arlington, Washington to be closer to potential US customers and manufacturing facilities. Eviation is pursuing FAA type certification through an established process that, once complete, will enable Alice to enter scheduled commercial service. The all-electric approach requires advances in battery energy density to achieve competitive range, and Eviation's success depends on continued improvement in battery technology alongside its aircraft development program.
Rhode Island all-electric seaglider maker flying in ground effect at 180+ mph for coastal routes; YC W21 $90M Founders Fund/8090-backed with $8B+ in orders from Japan Airlines and Mesa Airlines for 2026-27 delivery.
About
REGENT is a North Kingstown, Rhode Island-based aerospace and maritime company — backed by Y Combinator (W21) with $90 million raised including a $60 million Series A co-led by 8090 Industries and Founders Fund in October 2023 with strategic investments from Japan Airlines and Lockheed Martin — developing and manufacturing all-electric seagliders, a new vehicle category that combines the speed of aircraft with the simplicity of boats by flying in ground effect (within one wingspan of the water surface) on hydrofoils, enabling 180+ mph zero-emission coastal transit over water at costs competitive with ferries. Founded in 2020 by Billy Thalheimer and Mike Klinker (MIT aerospace engineers), REGENT has secured over $8 billion in commercial orders for 500+ seagliders from operators including Mesa Airlines, Brittany Ferries, and Pacific Basin Ferry, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026-2027.
