Flight Safety Technologies, Inc (AMEX: FLT) Chairman and CEO, Sam
Kovnat, issued the following statement on July 2, 2007. FST
recently returned from the Paris Air Show, which is the world�s
premiere showcase for aviation. The FST booth, which was partially
sponsored by the State of Connecticut, was visited by many
representatives of the international aerospace customer community.
Highlights of the show for FST included meetings with US FAA
Administrator, Marion Blakey, and Associate Administrator Nick
Sabatini as well as key executives from Dubai, India and various
other Government and Industry representatives. FST believes that
these discussions reflect a worldwide upsurge of interest in
technologies that address capacity constraints due to wake
turbulence, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) collision avoidance, and
terrorist missile threat countermeasures. FST is developing a
system called AWSM (Aircraft Wake Safety Management) to increase
airport capacity by safely reducing current spacing requirements
between aircraft and is currently preparing a proposal to the FAA
for a government-industry collaboration to demonstrate and perform
a safety assessment for AWSM. FST is encouraged by the recent
congressional House Science Committee recommendation to authorize
approximately $48 million for FAA Wake Turbulence related R&D
over the next four years (HR Bill 2698, subcommittee markup dated
June 14, 2007). While it believes this recommendation signals an
increasing focus on wake turbulence and its impact on the air
transportation system, there can be no assurance nor any implied
expectation that any such funding ultimately will be approved and
signed into law or, if so, that FST will receive any funds from
this source or any other source. The Bill must go through
Senate-House conference action as well as the appropriation process
and then be signed by the President. With regard to FST's Unicorn
collision avoidance technology, FST was pleased to be selected by
the US Air Force for a Small Business Innovative Research award
($100,000) to study the potential for the use of Unicorn with UAV
applications. FST also is continuing to pursue the TIICM technology
for protection of airliners against certain shoulder-fired
terrorist missile threats. FST expects the US Air Force to begin
testing this technology using actual missiles at a Government
facility starting later this year, although there can be no
assurance as to whether or when such testing will commence. About
Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. Flight Safety Technologies, Inc.
is a development stage company pursuing advanced technologies aimed
at enhancing safety, security and efficiency for the aviation
industry. These new technologies include AWSM�, SOCRATES�, UNICORN�
and TIICM�. The Aircraft Wake Safety Management (AWSM�) system is
being developed to provide a total airport system solution to the
need for increased airport capacity with enhanced safety. SOCRATES�
is an airport based laser acoustic sensor for the detection and
tracking of wake vortex turbulence. UNICORN� is an airborne radar
for collision avoidance using state of the art components to
achieve low cost, small size and light weight. TIICM� is an
airborne passive countermeasure initiative to protect airliners
against the threat of certain terrorist missile attacks. Safe

will implement WVAS at all or with the inclusion of a SOCRATES�
wake vortex sensor, the impact of competitive products and pricing,
limited visibility into future product demand, slower economic
growth generally, difficulties inherent in the development of
complex technology, new products sufficiency, availability of
