AeroVecto Aviation Services & Skyportz Sign Letter of Intent

The first step towards evaluating next‑generation ground infrastructure for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in the country.

AeroBerm™, part of Skyportz’s patented vertipad system, is designed to address one of the most significant challenges in eVTOL operations: managing downwash and outwash safely and efficiently. AeroBerm™ is designed to ameliorate downwash and outwash to protect people, other aircraft, and surrounding ground equipment. This controlled airflow enables safer operations, reduces risk to nearby property, and allows vertipads to be placed in more confined or commercially viable locations.

For Oman, these characteristics have direct relevance. The ability to reduce turbulence impact and footprint requirements supports integration of AAM infrastructure into dense urban areas, smart cities, logistics hubs, industrial zones, and remote sites where conventional helipad designs may be impractical. AVAS will evaluate these benefits under local conditions, including heat, wind patterns, and operational constraints unique to the Gulf region.

We are pleased to partner with AeroVecto to bring our revolutionary patented vertipad to Oman. Together with our university research partners, we will soon be presenting detailed findings of AeroBerm's capabilities at international forums. The results we are achieving on downwash/outwash and noise amelioration are significant.

Clem Newton‑Brown, CEO of Skyportz

Our focus is to understand what works in our environment, practically, safely, and sustainably. AeroBerm™ offers a thoughtful approach to vertipad design, and this agreement allows us to study its performance in real‑world Omani settings.

Fahad Al Riyami, CEO of AVAS

The partnership will focus on technical exchange, site assessments, and controlled testing of the AeroBerm™ system, supporting broader national efforts to evaluate advanced mobility solutions as Oman explores future‑ready infrastructure options.

The findings from this work will help inform how such technologies could be adapted to local conditions and integrated into the country’s long‑term mobility landscape.
