A boat that flies: Reinventing transportation for coastal cities

In Miami-Dade County the biggest emitter of climate-warming emissions is transportation. In thinking about Miami’s future, a critical piece will be how we get around in a way that is emissions-free. Since Miami is surrounded by water, why not turn our focus to another mode of transportation? Boston-based REGENT has created all-electric seagliders – a cross between a plane and a boat – that are high-speed and zero-emission solely for coastal transportation. Tom Harari is the Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development for the venture-backed aerospace and maritime company. He joins us to explain how the seaglider can change how we get around in South Florida.
