FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Flight Safety Technologies DIA Update

MYSTIC, CT (February 13, 2006) - Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) announced that during the New Years holiday weekend, a break in and vandalism occurred at the SOCRATES® test site at Denver International Airport (DIA). In addition to the theft of computers and displays, the perpetrators activated fire extinguishers, which caused damage to electronics and optical components. Following inspection by our insurance adjusters, we have begun the process of cleaning the electronics and refurbishing optical components. Plans are for DIA site operations to restart in mid April 2006, with enhanced on-site security.

In the meantime, engineering development to prepare a Wake Vortex Avoidance System (WVAS) emulation has continued without interruption. To support these efforts, the U.S. DOT/Volpe National Transportation System Center has approved Task Order No. 2 and funding in the amount of $1,409,025 has been added to our current contract effective January 27, 2006.

If WVAS emulation and integration with the refurbished SOCRATES® equipment is successful, and subject to government approval, we plan to invite potential users to participate in demonstrations of the system, starting in late summer of 2006. There can be no assurance that this additional funding will be sufficient to complete the emulation, or that further government funding will be available or that the testing will be successful or occur on schedule.

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.
