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. Their mechanism is designed so that the player is launched either directly upward, forward or backward in motion. {{spoiler text|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.}}

In [[Portal 2 - Education Version]], the '''Aerial Faith Plate''' can generate an impulse with a specific amount of force (1-99N) and in a precise direction (0-90°).
