Flying Over Water: UAE Could See Seagliders by Next Year

The UAE is no stranger to futuristic transport, and the latest addition to its lineup might just glide over water. Seagliders operate using a mix of aerodynamic lift and water displacement, allowing them to skim just above the surface at speeds of up to 290 km/h. Designed by Regent Craft for coastal cities and island transport, they could significantly cut travel times between destinations like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, or even across the Gulf.

The best part? They’re fully electric, making them a sustainable alternative to traditional boats and air taxis. With the UAE’s push for innovative and eco-friendly transport solutions, it’s no surprise that discussions are underway to bring these futuristic gliders to local waters.

If all goes according to plan, residents and tourists may soon be swapping traffic jams for a smooth, high-speed ride over the Gulf – a new way to travel that’s as thrilling as it is practical.
