This next test involves the Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate. It was part of an initiative to investigate how well test subjects could solve problems when they were catapulted into space. Results were highly informative: They could not. Good luck!

An Aerial Faith Plate in Portal 2.

The Aperture Science Aerial Faith Plate is a mechanism introduced in Portal 2. This device launches players over a gap or to a specific destination at a set velocity and height. It can be used in conjunction with portals, and the Plate's ability to preserve the velocity of the user makes it an effective means of travel to far or otherwise inaccessible places.

Aerial Faith Plates can also launch any object that is placed on them, and the objects will travel the same distance and at the same velocity as the player, regardless of their size and weight. Their mechanism is designed so that the player is launched either directly upward, forward or backward in motion. There is only one occasion in which an Aerial Faith Plate launches you sideways, which is during the final chapters of the game when Wheatley plans to kill you.
