Communiqué publié le 24/07/2007 à 22h15

Officials of Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:UITA) announced today that it continues to move forward with the development of the FF-1080 Prototype aircraft.

"We are very pleased with the beginning of construction of the fuselage sections by Metalcraft last week and are making sure that the rest of the development program such as engineering software and tooling design are the latest available, and that integration-engineering of the wing to the fuselage as well as engineering on other major sub-assemblies of the aircraft are on track" stated John J. Dupont, President and CEO of Utilicraft.

The Company has taken measures to re-vamp its engineering programs, tooling processes, and wing development with the intention of accelerating the FF-1080 prototype aircraft development, as well as keeping up with the latest state-of-the-art design programs and processes available to the Company. Details on these programs and their impact on the development of the prototype will be announced periodically over the next 90 days as the Company moves forward.

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 Freight Feeder aircraft is a new fuel-efficient cost-effective, air vehicle which is the result of Utilicraft's extensive research and development. The FF-1080 is revolutionary because of its 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 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 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.

The Company has also developed the Automatic Flat Rate System (AFRS) Patent, a company owned system that will allow the FF-1080 aircraft to operate with substantially more fuel efficiency than any other freight feeder aircraft in the world, saving the operator substantial fuel operating cost, and consequently reducing pollution as the aircraft operates in the freight feed system -- making it environmentally friendly.
