Officials of Freight Feeder Aircraft Corporation (a U.S. private corporation 25% owned by Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc. OTCBB: UITA) reported today that due to the recent news concerning U.S. and International rising aviation fuel prices (See article: Rising Jet Fuel Bills Take Their Toll on Carriers . . . - www.aircargoworld.com), the FF5000 Freight Feeder Aircraft has been intentionally engineered to be more fuel efficient than current aircraft in the short to medium range market. �The FF5000 has a larger and more efficient useful-load/cargo-bay-volume to gross weight percentage of 53% as compared to an average of 35% carried by the existing turboprop fleet,� stated John J. Dupont, President and CEO of Freight Feeder Aircraft Corporation. Mr. Dupont went on to say, �This designed-in-efficiency causes the FF5000 to be 44% more fuel efficient for each pound of revenue freight enplaned -- which has been the focus of our design from the start -- and is basically what the FF5000 'mission specific' design is all about.� It is estimated that the current turboprop world feeder fleet, that is operating today, is burning an estimated 383 million gallons per year. If the current older aircraft fleet was to be replaced by the new FF5000, the total gallons per year consumed would be reduced by 44%, saving 213 million gallons per year of aviation fuel. The World Air Cargo forecast is projected to grow at a rate of 6.1% a year through 2025, which will require a substantial increase in feeder aircraft operations. On an annual basis this equates to a reduction of 1.27 Billion gallons in fuel consumed per year when using new mission specific freight feeder aircraft -- like the FF5000.

In December 2007, Freight Feeder Aircraft Corporation acquired the Freight Feeder aircraft technology and development program form Utilicraft Aerospace Industries, Inc., (OTCBB: UITA) which included the aircraft design, related intellectual property, patents, and developed hardware and software including a mockup aircraft, and fuselage tooling -- with the intention of completing the development of the aircraft project, and to bring the Freight Feeder aircraft into commercial production for global sales into the freight aircraft market. The Freight Feeder aircraft - now designated the FF5000 by the Company -- is specifically designed to address a niche segment of the global air freight market, specifically the need for a new and updated state-of-the-art effective containerized freight feed air transportation system requiring the development and implementation of a new regional-sized-container-capable turboprop-aircraft, specifically designed to economically transport containerized/palletized air shipments to and from regional manufacturing and freight distribution facilities (located in smaller communities) to and from the major international hub airports -- world-wide.
