REGENT Craft Viceroy

"The Regent Viceroy is an all-electric seaglider, a novel vessel designed for high-speed, low-emission coastal transportation. It operates on the water, transitioning between three modes: floating on its hull, foiling above the water on hydrofoils, and flying in ground effect (G.E.), just above the surface. The Viceroy is a 12-passenger vehicle capable of reaching speeds up to 180 mph and traveling distances of up to 180 miles on a single charge. "

Because the Aircraft is technically a boat made for non-pilot maritime captains to operate, it relies on a fly by wire system that mostly flies it. I have no idea how the actual one operates I only approximated. There is PID control every ware so if you're running a low/fps physics setup it may not work correctly.

This craft has been designated a "Sea Glider" per the company. Specifically, it's differentiated by other ground effect vehicles by using a hydrofoil as an intermediary device when high speed is desired buts not really practical to fly it at that moment. Again, this may not work on all platforms due to its tendency to begin oscillating while playing on the phone.

Step 1 Set throttle to 50 percent to float quickly
Step 2 Set throttle to 99 percent for foil mode
Step 3 Set throttle to 100 percent for fly mode

Turn left or right with roll input

Aircraft will simply Auto take off or auto land when move to and from flying mode

This aircraft may not work on mobile and only fly above ocean!
