The Skyportz vertipad patent has made the finals for the Avalon Airshow innovation awards. Our revolutionary landing pad ameliorates downwash and outwash which leads to safer operations from smaller footprints. Swinburne University is currently doing CFD modelling and I expect to be able to include these results in our pitch at the Airshow. This is a great opportunity to get our patent out there in front of potential lead investors in advance of our planned Birchal fundraise to develop the prototype. If you missed out on previous Birchal raises, stand by!

It seems 2025 will be the year that the investment focus shifts to air taxi vertiport infrastrucure. China, the Middle East and the USA is where the bulk of the investment is headed. We hope to be able to release the results of our University CFD modelling for our vertipad product soon. The aim is to produce a modular, affordable landing surface that any propery owner can purchase to become an air taxi destination. Skyportz has applied for Ausindustry funding to help with prototype development and there may be opportunity later in the year to invest in this project again. https://www.unmannedairspace.info/news-first/global-aam-infrastructure-planning-now-over-usd100-million-a-month-china-us-soars-while-europe-languishes/
