FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. Reaches SOCRATES® Agreement

MYSTIC, CT (June 5, 2006) - Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:FLT) announced today that it has reached an agreement with Lockheed Martin Corporation on language regarding ownership rights in intellectual property arising exclusively from Lockheed's performance as a subcontractor to Flight Safety Technologies on the SOCRATES® technology program. This agreement is intended to facilitate a renewal of work being performed under the Company's prime contract with the US Department of Transportation, to complete the restoration of the Denver International Airport SOCRATES® test site, equipment and data, and to continue the development and demonstration of a WakeVAS system.

As discussed in our public filings, there still remain unresolved issues relating to the Company's SOCRATES® patent and an earlier patent of Lockheed Martin's on certain intellectual property related to the SOCRATES® technology patent. Although the Company views the agreement reached today as a positive step, there can be no assurance that there will be a satisfactory resolution of these other issues. The Company considers its SOCRATES® technology patent and relationship with Lockheed Martin as very important to the success of the SOCRATES® technology program and, therefore, inability to resolve intellectual property issues with Lockheed Martin in a mutually satisfactory manner would likely have a negative effect on our business and future value.

Flight Safety Technologies, Inc is a development stage company pursuing advanced technologies aimed at enhancing safety, security and efficiency for the aviation industry.

The Company is currently pursuing three technologies called SOCRATES®, UNICORN™ and TIICM™:

l      SOCRATES® is an airport based laser acoustic sensor for the detection and tracking of wake vortex turbulence.

l      UNICORN™ is an airborne radar for collision avoidance using state of the art components to achieve low cost, small size and light weight.

l      TIICM™ is an airborne passive countermeasure system to protect airliners against the threat of terrorist missile attacks.
