These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before.

  • Must be projected to receive an honorable discharge from the military
  • Must have all TAP and transition requirements completed prior to the start date
  • Must receive approval from the Unit Commander or O4+ in the chain of command
