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 reaching places further away, or that would otherwise be inaccessible.
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.
