  “REGENT's commercial order book, which exceeds $10 billion across six”

  $10B+ order book claimed. Manufacturing facility completed in North Kingstown, RI (255K sqft). The order book includes airlines, ferry operators, and energy companies. However, "order book" in aerospace typically includes LOIs (letters of intent) and MOUs, not just firm orders. The $10B figure should be treated as indicative interest, not firm contracted revenue. https://www.designdevelopmenttoday.com/industries/aerospace/news/22969111/worlds-first-seaglider-factory-opens-in-rhode-island
