New VP

Flight Safety Technologies, Inc., announced Thursday that Mr. C. Robert Knight has joined the company as a full time employee and has been named Vice President for Business Administration, and General Counsel. Mr. Knight is a graduate of Indiana University School of Law.

His 33-year career includes serving as General Counsel of a trade association of Mayors and other elected officials in his home state of Indiana where he coordinated the legislative agenda and functioned as chief lobbyist for his constituency. Mr. Knight also became an elected official, serving two four-year terms as a Municipal Judge.

Mr. Knight was also General Counsel and Assistant to the President of a technology start up company where he coordinated international sales, including the negotiation of trade agreements with The Israeli Ministry of Defense. His international trade background also includes working with Japanese, French and Belgian business interests.

As Claim Counsel for Aetna Property and Casualty Company Mr. Knight managed a staff that included over 200 attorneys in 24 offices involved in the defense of approximately 18,000 lawsuits.

Mr. Knight has completed the NASD General Securities Representative Series 7 and 63 examinations. He is a graduate of the National Institute For Trial Advocacy sponsored by Notre Dame University School of Law, is Martindale Hubbell "AV" rated, and has established litigation precedents in state and federal court systems.

Flight Safety Technologies is developing three new technology projects aimed at enhancing the safety and security of aviation.

Project SOCRATES(TM) is a patented laser acoustic sensor technology for the detection and localization and tracking of wake vortex turbulence as a potential airport installation for U.S. and International airport markets. Following a successful test of a four-beam configuration in September of 2003, the company has been expanding the system to sixteen beams and preparing for a major test at Denver International Airport in September of 2005.

The company is developing a patented airborne collision avoidance radar called UNICORN(TM) which is scheduled for an initial tower-based proof-of-principle test in August of 2005. UNICORN is being developed for potential general aviation applications, as well as potential government use in unmanned aerial vehicles.

The company is also pursuing the development of a potentially low-cost technology called TIICM(TM), for the protection of airliners against the threat of terrorists shoulder launched missiles.
