Haylion and Skyportz to install modular vertipad prototypes in Shenzhen, targeting China’s AAM market

Haylion Technologies and Skyportz will deploy prototype installations of Skyportz’s patented modular vertipad system in Shenzhen, marking the platform’s entry into China’s AAM market. The partnership pairs Skyportz’s vertipad design—addressing downwash, fire safety and scalability—with Haylion’s eMaaS and energy hardware for dense urban use.

What Hype is tracking

Prototype installs in Shenzhen bring Skyportz’s patented modular vertipad into China’s low-altitude market and couple it with Haylion’s eMaaS and energy hardware, creating a tested infrastructure bundle for urban operations.
The move follows Skyports’ wider commercialisation push — including its selection to lead Korea’s vertiport network (https://hype.aero/?story=7284aecf-6dca-409d-999d-c59acba6cb3d) and the recent Bicester Motion vertiport deployment (https://hype.aero/?story=984a61a1-f407-419e-a312-fc879f08b1a4) — showing repeatable public‑private infrastructure partnerships.
On-the-ground prototypes will validate downwash mitigation, fire-safety and scalability features that determine siting, certification and operating costs for AAM deployments.
