Aerial Faith Plates can launch any object that is placed on it, from a standard [[Weighted Storage Cube]] to a [[Turret]], it'll launch these objects the same distance as the player at the same speed. These are also encountered in [[Co-op]], including the [[Hub]], where they're used as a form of traveling to another course where portals cannot reach. The mechanism is designed so that the player is launched either directly upwards, forwards, or backwards in motion. {{spoiler text|There is only one instance where an Aerial Faith Plate launches you sideways, during the final chapters where [[Wheatley]] plans to kill you.}}

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 at a set velocity and height, usually to a destination over a gap or the other part of a test chamber. It can be used in junction with portals and their ability to preserve velocity while passing through, making it simple to get to places further away.

Aerial Faith Plates can also launch any object that is placed on it, at the same distance and speed as the player. Their mechanism is designed so that the player is launched either directly upwards, forwards, or backwards in motion.
