Aeroberm Update — May 2026 It has been a big few months and I wanted to take a moment to update you on where things are at, as the industry moves to commercial air taxi flights this year. The launch of our secret sauce: On 5 May 2026, we officially unveiled our vertipad panel patent, Aeroberm™ — simultaneously on two continents. At the Vertical Fight Society Forum 82 in West Palm Beach, Florida, I presented alongside Swinburne University researcher Andrew Che to an audience of the world's leading rotorcraft engineers and aviation innovators. At exactly the same time on the Gold Coast, Professor Justin Leontini of Swinburne University presented at Rotortech 2026 — Australia's premier rotorcraft industry event. The centrepiece of the launch was the Aeroberm fractal panel — the patented surface technology at the heart of our vertipad system. The fractal panel uses self-similar geometry to simultaneously absorb rotor vortices across all scales, breaking up the coherent vortex cores that produce dangerous outwash at pad edges. The result is a dramatic reduction in the safety footprint required for urban vertipad deployment — directly addressing the FAA's Engineering Brief 105A threshold of 34.5 mph for the safety zone. This is not just a concept. It is backed by peer-reviewed computational fluid dynamics research conducted by Swinburne University — the first CFD modelling of fractal surface geometry ever applied to eVTOL ground operations. The fractal panel is one part of a system designed to solve the four showstoppers that are currently preventing vertiports from being built at scale: downwash and outwash, noise, lithium-ion battery fire risk, and cost. No other vertipad product on the market addresses all four. Note that Aeroberm is 100% owned by Skyportz Australia Pty Ltd so if you are a shareholder you are also a part owner of this exciting innovation that we hope will become the standard for vertiports. Australian Government Backing: The Australian Government has awarded Skyportz a $250,000 grant under the Industry Growth Program to develop a modular prototype product — matched by Skyportz to create a $500,000 research and development pool. This funding will engage researchers, patent specialists, and industrial designers to take Aeroberm from validated concept to physical prototype. Building the first prototype is now our primary focus. It is the step that transforms Aeroberm from a patent and University led research study into a scalable product. What's Happening Internationally: The launch has opened doors. We have active commercial conversations underway in Japan, Oman, China, UAE and the United States. We have offered our IP at no charge to participants in the US Department of Transportation's Enhanced Industry Partnership Program — positioning Aeroberm inside the US regulatory trial framework from the ground up. We are also in early discussions with several significant infrastructure and property partners who understand that owning the backbone of a vertipad network — before the aircraft arrive — is the strategic play. The industry will soon have electric air taxis. But where can they land? Tens of billions of dollars have been invested in eVTOL aircraft. Very little has been invested to date in where they will land. Yet without an extensive network of landing infrastructure at places people want to go, none of that investment can deliver on its promise. Limiting deployment to existing airports and heliports produces nothing more than an expensive evolution of helicopter services. The transformative vision — aviation on demand, at the density of ride-sharing — requires vertipads where people actually are: on buildings, in suburbs, at regional hubs. That infrastructure does not exist. Four critical barriers are preventing it from being built. The Four Showstoppers — And How Aeroberm™ Solves Each: Cost. Bespoke vertiport construction costs are prohibitive for most developers. Aeroberm's off the shelf, modular, deployable design brings vertipad infrastructure within reach for property owners, developers, and regional operators. Downwash and outwash. The FAA's Engineering Brief 105A sets a 34.5 mph outwash boundary threshold. Meeting that standard on conventional tarmac demands vast buffer zones — land that doesn't exist in mature cities or exists only at prohibitive cost. Aeroberm's fractal panels redirect and dissipate outwash, dramatically shrinking the required safety footprint. Noise. eVTOL aircraft are quiet at altitude. They are not quiet at take-off and landing. Aeroberm's fractal panel technology reduces acoustic impact at the vertipad — a prerequisite for community acceptance in dense urban environments. Fire safety. Lithium-ion thermal runaway is a dealbreaker for building owners being asked to host vertiports. Aeroberm's integrated immersion-based "dunk tank" system contains and neutralises battery fires — protecting surrounding tenants and eliminating the extended evacuations that would make vertipad hosting commercially and reputationally untenable. Investment opportunities; We are not currently raising funds but stay tuned for our next Birchal raise.

How lucky are we to have the support of ex- Federal Aviation Administration vertiport specialist, Robert Bassey as Skyportz® prepares the Aeroberm™ patent for entry to the USA market? If we get the product right under the FAA requirements this will speed up entry to all emerging markets. The issues we are addressing around downwash/outwash safety and noise will be universal, wherever anyone tries to establish a network of urban landing sites. We are supported by a great technical team developing our IP with peer reviewed science.
