Communiqué publié le 05/03/2007 à 21h00

Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISSC) today announced that the Company has entered into a five-year, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) agreement with Eclipse Aviation to provide Flat Panel Display Systems. Under this agreement, the Company will be the exclusive supplier of Primary Flight and Multi-Function Flat Panel Displays as part of the Avio NG Total Aircraft Integration system on Eclipse 500 Very Light Jets (VLJ).

Innovative Solutions and Support's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey S.M. Hedrick stated, "We are honored to have been chosen as one of Eclipse Aviation's best-of-breed partners for the Avio NG component of their revolutionary Eclipse 500 program. We look forward to delivering reliable and cost effective displays to Eclipse Aviation, allowing the Avio Total Aircraft Integration concept to become a reality on the Eclipse 500. This agreement further establishes our Cockpit/IP(TM) (Cockpit Information Portal) as a leading solution in providing advanced functionality and graphics to reduce pilot workload, enhance situational awareness, and improve safety."

The Avio NG system delivers significant enhancements providing next generation digital avionics with demonstrated airline reliability and systems capability unparalleled in the very light jet segment. These enhancements include: -0- *T -- Improved reliability achieved through: -- EFIS software that has been similarly deployed as level A software -- Higher Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rates for Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Multi-function Display (MFD) hardware -- Hardware systems that previously have been used only in Part 25 airplanes -- Improved systems architecture and design -- 768 x 1024 resolution PFD displays and 1440 x 900 resolution MFD display *T

"The Company's patented FAA Level A certified Flat Panel Display Systems with proven Air Transport quality and performance bring the Part 25 high integrity level to the VLJ operator who will be sharing the same airspace with the commercial airlines."

Mr. Hedrick continued, "This OEM agreement illustrates the versatility of the Company's products. Since we design all of our products to meet the most stringent industry requirements, as well as to easily accommodate foreseeable future needs, they are equally suitable for owners of both newly manufactured aircraft and aircraft in need of an upgrade. Additionally, this OEM agreement with Eclipse Aviation will provide a stable revenue stream for the Company over the next several years, and, when coupled with the demands from the different retrofit market segments that we serve, a sustainable double digit growth in revenue and income will prevail."

Eclipse Aviation, manufacturer of the world's first very light jet (VLJ), currently has orders for approximately 2,500 Eclipse 500 airplanes. The Company's agreement with Eclipse is for 60 months, commencing with the delivery of the first production ship-set to Eclipse, expected this summer.
