Congress Provides Additional Funding For SOCRATES.

MYSTIC, Conn. -- Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) announced that on November 20, 2004, Congress enacted the "Omnibus" Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 2005. This bill still must be sent to the President to be signed into law. The bill contains an additional $5 million dollars, within the NASA Aeronautical Research Budget, specifically earmarked for continued research and development on the company's proprietary and patented SOCRATES(TM) technology.

The company must negotiate and execute a contract and obtain approval for specific work orders before it receives contract revenue from such funding. This process typically takes six months or more and involves extensive negotiation between the company and the government. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to when and how much of these funds, if any, will be made available to the company.

Nevertheless, the company is pleased with this recent congressional action and believes that these funds, if and when released, will permit the company, together with its principle subcontractor, to complete the expansion of the SOCRATES(TM) wake vortex senor to a 32-beam configuration and provide for an airport test of an integrated multi-sensor suite for the detection and tracking of aircraft wake vortices.
