FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. SOCRATES® Technology Testing
Interrupted by Vandalism

MYSTIC, CT (January 10, 2006) - Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) announced that during the New Year's holiday weekend, a break-in occurred at the Denver International Airport test site for the SOCRATES® wake vortex sensor technology. This break-in resulted in vandalism and theft of equipment associated with the SOCRATES® wake vortex sensor technology and as well as government owned and operated equipment. The company equipment is covered by insurance and the appropriate law enforcement authorities have been notified.

The current test commenced in early September 2005 and had been suspended for the holiday period when the break-in occurred. The extent of loss and the impact on development and test schedules is under review. None of the data taken before the event was lost and data analysis is still under way.

The DIA tests are intended to test the ability of the SOCRATES® wake vortex sensor technology to detect wake vortices utilizing an array of sixteen beams. The next planned step is the development and testing of an emulation of a wake vortex avoidance system (WakeVAS), including the real time validation of vortex predictions and air traffic control type display information. FST is performing these tests under a contract from the U.S. DOT / Volpe Center with Lockheed Martin Corporation as its principle subcontractor. There can be no assurance that current testing will be successful, or if or when the next planned step will proceed.

The company is currently participating in three advanced technology development efforts aimed at enhancing aviation safety, security, and efficiency. In addition to its SOCRATES™ airport based technology for wake vortex detection, the company is working on UNICORN™ airborne collision avoidance radar initiative and TIICM™ technology for protection of airliners against certain terrorist missiles.
