About
The world needs places for air taxis to land
Aeroberm is the answer. A patented vertipad system engineered to solve the three problems that will block urban Advanced Air Mobility from scaling. Dangerous downwash. Intrusive noise. Lithium battery fire risk. Aeroberm solves all three, in a single deployable surface.
Urban Advanced Air Mobility doesn't fail because of aircraft. It fails because there is nowhere safe to land them in cities. Every eVTOL manufacturer in the world is racing toward certification. Every city that wants to participate in the coming air mobility economy needs certified landing infrastructure before aircraft arrive. Aeroberm is that infrastructure.
We are not a construction company building bespoke pads for individual clients. We are a standards-led technology company positioning a patented surface system to become the global default for eVTOL landing on private real estate, validated by world-class research at Swinburne University, University of California Berkeley, and Bristol University.
The surface standard for the air taxi era doesn't exist yet. We are here to write it.
Our Vision
A world where every suitable rooftop, transit hub, hospital, and waterfront precinct is a certified landing point, where urban Advanced Air Mobility is as unremarkable, accessible, and bookable as ordering a rideshare. The aircraft are coming. The only question is which cities are ready to receive them.
Our Mission
To become the global surface standard for eVTOL landing infrastructure. We will do this by combining patented fractal panel technology, university-validated aerodynamic performance, and a standards-led commercialisation strategy that positions Aeroberm as the solution regulators point to and property owners specify. One surface. Every city. Installed before the aircraft arrive.
Our Position
Aeroberm sits upstream of every eVTOL aircraft programme on earth. Aircraft manufacturers are racing to certify fleets, and we are entirely indifferent to which one wins. Aeroberm is aircraft-agnostic by design. Whether it is Joby, Archer, Wisk, Beta, Vertical, Autoflight or the next manufacturer nobody has heard of yet, every eVTOL that achieves certification will need a safe, compliant surface to land on. We build that surface.
While the rest of the industry debates which aircraft will dominate, and investors try to back winners we are quietly becoming the infrastructure that all of them depend on, on private rooftops, at transit nodes, and across the urban fabric of cities that cannot wait for bespoke solutions.
Own an Aeroberm ecosystem and you own the skies.
Patented solutions to unsolved problems. That's the difference.
Six principles guide our product development
- 01
Purposeful Simplicity
One scalable, modular pad. Not a bespoke civil works project every time, not a custom fabrication for every rooftop, not a solution that requires an engineer on site for six months. Aeroberm is designed to be repeatable, because repeatability is what wins certification at scale and drives the unit economics that make a global network viable.
- 02
Patent-First Defensibility
The fractal vertipad is perhaps the only vertipad product in the world with publicly filed, defensible intellectual property covering its core aerodynamic mechanism. This is not a concept. It is a provisionally patented system that competitors cannot simply copy.
- 03
Solve the Showstoppers
Downwash and outwash, noise, and lithium battery fire risk are the three problems that could block urban vertiport proposals from approval. We solved all three in one integrated system, validated by Swinburne University CFD testing and grounded in peer-reviewed research. No other vertipad product addresses all three simultaneously.
- 04
Research Anchored
Aeroberm's fractal panel was developed in partnership with Swinburne University, where CFD modelling confirmed that the fractal wavy panel outperforms every other design on energy dissipation, vortex dispersion, and flow redirection. Our claims are not marketing. They are published science.
- 05
Property-Ready Engineering
Aeroberm is designed for property developers, building owners, and infrastructure operators, not aerospace laboratories. The system installs without major civil works, integrates with standard building compliance frameworks, and is engineered to be as unremarkable to install as any other piece of building plant. Boringly repeatable is the goal.
- 06
Aircraft Agnostic
We have no stake in which eVTOL manufacturer wins the certification race, every aircraft that achieves certification will need a compliant surface to land on. Aeroberm is designed to perform across the full spectrum of eVTOL configurations and downwash profiles, which means the landing layer is ready whenever the aircraft arrive, whoever makes them.
