The Australian government has awarded AUD250,000 to Skyportz Australia under the Industry Growth Program to advance its patented elevated Aeroberm™ vertipad. The modular vertipad is designed to reduce eVTOL downwash, noise and fire risk and to enable scalable, property‑focused air‑taxi operations in urban and regional settings.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The AUD250,000 Industry Growth Program grant is direct public funding to accelerate a vertipad product critical to AAM ground infrastructure.
  • Aeroberm targets reductions in downwash, noise and fire risk and its development follows Skyportz’s public product rollout — it was unveiled at Dubai Airshow and prototype construction began in Nov 2025.
  • The award adds momentum to broader vertiport activity and market planning, complementing Skyportz’s vertiport demand analysis for large markets and recent Gulf vertiport rollout programs (see related market and rollout work)(source:1b618d10-b08a-4e1d-8271-84722ad14e14)(source:f7c59221-99a1-48dd-9eee-10216e517502).
