Skyportz has begun construction of the first Aeroberm™ modular vertipad prototype to validate simulation‑predicted reductions in eVTOL downwash, noise and fire risk. The real‑world test will assess the Aeroberm's modular turf and structural design for urban vertiport siting and operational safety.

Briefing
The prototype targets three core barriers to urban vertiport deployment—downwash, noise and fire risk—issues regulators and operators require evidence of mitigation for safe, dense AAM operations.
Real‑world tests will seek to validate simulation results Skyportz previously publicised in its patent‑protected modular vertipad animation, supporting its national patent phases and commercial claims.
A validated, modular vertipad could speed vertiport rollouts alongside corridor and campus pilots such as the OxCam AAM Corridor demonstrator and would inform practical site and infrastructure guidance like Eve's A Quick Infrastructure Guide for eVTOLs.
