CEDAR CITY, Utah USA — AeroTech is pleased to announce that it is shipping its single-use 'G' motors in quantity again for the first time in nearly six months.

Since May of 2004, AeroTech has experienced difficulty in obtaining convolute-wound paper/phenolic motor casing of sufficient quality and quantity for use in the manufacture of its single-use 'E', 'F' and 'G' motors. As a result, AeroTech made a strategic decision to redesign all of its 29mm "standard" 'F' and 'G' & Econojet™ 'F' single-use motors to utilize a one-piece molded case and nozzle configuration similar to that currently used in the F20W Econojets, which have been in production since August of 2003. This decision required a substantial investment of company resources including many hours of research and development efforts and large amounts of capital for new molds and inventory.

The redesigned G40Ws began shipping the week of 10/11/04, and the G80Ts will begin production in early November. The G38FJ Econojet will become a "standard" motor at the same price as the G40W. The redesigned F23FJ Econojets have been released for production as well. Molds for the new F25W and F50Ts are being fabricated and motor production is expected to begin after the first of the year. The G35W Econojets have been discontinued, as it is no longer practical to produce an "economy" 'G' motor using the new design.

In related news, a Blue Thunder™ Econojet in the same form factor as the F20W and a BlackMax™ motor in the same case as the F25W are under development and will be released once testing and NAR certification is complete.

AeroTech is also in the process of transitioning over to a alternative burn rate catalyst used in its Blue Thunder and Redlineª propellants that has greater stability and storage compatibility with RMS-Plus™ delays than the chemical currently being used. However, this catalyst is five times the expense of the old catalyst and adds a substantial cost to the finished propellant. The performance characteristics of the propellant will not change beyond permitted manufacturing tolerances.

Due to the above mentioned redesign, reformulation and general increases in the price of materials, labor, insurance and other costs of doing business, a number of AeroTech single-use motors, RMS™ reload kits, starter sets and rocket kits will be subject to a price adjustment.
