Utilicraft Aerospace Planning Enhanced Product Development Program
Communiqué publié le 29/05/2007 à 13h31

Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:UITA): Officials of Utilicraft Aerospace announced today that the Company in its efforts to save substantial prototype development cost and time, is currently working on a strategy that could possibly bring both the -300ER and the smaller -200 aircraft to market in sequence, by using the commonality of both designs during the development of the prototype FF-1080 Performance Flight Test Aircraft (PFTA).

The Company plans to further enhance its position in the global and domestic freight feeder markets by taking advantage of its previous engineering development of the -200 version FF-1080 design, including the existing full-scale -200 mockup. The FF-1080-200 is a smaller version of the Company's FF-1080-300ER.

John Dupont, President and CEO of Utilicraft stated, "Although the -300ER is the optimum in the FF-1080 family of aircraft designs and shows a promising international market, the smaller -200 continues to show solid market potential in the shorter U.S. and European feeder segments, as well as various military cargo applications. The use of the prototype aircraft for both designs can mean substantial savings to the Company and decrease our time to market while potentially increasing our market advantage."

More details will be included in the Company's FF-1080 PFTA progress reports beginning in June.

About Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc.:

Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc. was formed to implement a system solution to the current problem of declining capacity in the short haul (or feeder) route segments of the air cargo and overnight express companies.

The FF-1080-300ER Freight Feeder aircraft is a new air vehicle which is the result of Utilicraft's extensive research and development. The FF-1080-300ER is revolutionary because of it's capability to carry standard industry air containers on short-to-medium range/medium density routes combined with the aircraft's integrated air cargo information system for the freight feed market.

The FF-1080-300ER, an all aluminum twin-engine, high-wing, un-pressurized, fixed gear, single pilot capable, turboprop aircraft, specifically designed as a utility air freight transport system. The aircraft satisfies an industry recognized need to cost effectively feed containerized air cargo to the major hubs of the scheduled passenger carriers and the overnight express airlines.

The aircraft is also designed for short take-off and landing (STOL) capability. This feature makes the FF-1080-300ER the only short-haul, heavy-lift containerized feeder aircraft capable of cost-effectively transporting ten revenue tons over two thousand nautical miles from airfields with less than 3,500 feet of runway, expanding air cargo capacity to many smaller cities and airports worldwide.
