"... that's the beauty of seagliders when you talk about electric aviation. People are a bit wary of flying 10-20,000 feet in the air with electric batteries. Whereas in our case we're only 10m above the water, and we're always above a runway. So in the absolute worst case, you can just glide back onto the water, send out a signal for a pickup."

"Ocean Flyer, a business founded by former banker and Air Napier owner Shah Aslam and former New Zealand Air Force chief John Hamilton, is among the earliest customers.
They have a $700m order for 25 seagliders that they plan to operate along New Zealand’s coast for about $30 to $60 one-way. Regent has about NZ$10 billion in orders from around the world."
