Today, officials of Metalcraft Technologies, Inc. (MTI) presented
to Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc (OTCBB:UITA), the first major
production jig to be used to produce the center fuselage assembly for
the FF-1080 Prototype Aircraft (see photo below).
John J. Dupont, President-CEO, Chairman of Utilicraft Aerospace
stated, "We are very pleased with the professionalism, ingenuity, and
dedication of Metalcraft and its team of highly experienced production
engineers, fabricators, and management staff. They have produced a
"production-quality" jig for our FF-1080 Prototype Aircraft -- while
keeping quality up, costs down, and maintaining simplicity and
efficiency in the tool itself with tolerances that far exceed major
aerospace manufacturing requirements."
Dupont went on to say, "The completion of this first major jig for
construction of the Prototype, marks the most significant milestone to
date in the history of the development of the FF-1080, and sends a
clear message to the global air freight industry - that Utilicraft
Aerospace and its team of dedicated manufacturing risk-share partners
are well on their way to accomplishing the necessary steps to bring
the FF-1080 Freight Feeder Aircraft to market."
Chuck Taylor, Vice President of MTI stated, "MTI's Tooling Design,
Manufacturing Engineering, Production and Quality Assurance have done
an incredible job of combining their talents to produce the first of
many manufacture and assembly tools for the FF-1080 program. This tool
will be used to build the center fuselage's floor sub-assemblies. Each
sub-assembly is made up of the outer skin, multiple floor frames and
multiple keel beams. Each of the floor sub-assemblies measures over
ten (10) feet long and nearly ten (10) feet wide."
"The extruded aluminum raw material that will be used to build the
floor beams and the keel beams are scheduled for delivery this week,"
Taylor continued. "The extrusion delivery, together with the outer
skin material delivery due the latter part of November, puts us on
schedule to begin loading the center fuselage sections into the final
assembly jigs by mid to late January."

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 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 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. See more on the FF-1080 aircraft and the
Company's patents at www.utilicraft.com.
