TDG Aerospace Signs Contract to Equip Delta's Boeing 757 and 737NG Fleets with the UFI(R) Electrical Fault Detection System for Added Fuel Tank Safety

         New safety device enjoys growing industry acceptance
ESCONDIDO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
TDG Aerospace, manufacturer of the most advanced and
cost-effective safety solutions for the commercial aviation industry,
is pleased to announce that Delta Air Lines has selected its UFI(R)
STC ST01950LA as an approved method of compliance and terminating
action to FAA airworthiness directive AD 2008-11-07 for their B757
fleet and UFI(R) STC ST02076LA for their B737NG Fleet. TDG's patented
UFI(R) is a single compact unit that fulfills all required
functionalities of the latest B757 AD as well as forthcoming AD's on
the B737NG, including automatic shut-off for the center tank fuel
pumps and installation of secondary pump control relays.

   The company's patented UFI(R) fault detection system protects
aircraft electrical systems and components from faults in critical
areas, such as fuel boost pump motors and related wiring. In fuel
boost pump applications, TDG's UFI(R) device provides comprehensive
electrical fault protection and fuel boost pump automatic shut-off for
center tank fuel systems. Additionally, the UFI(R) unit provides a
redundant relay solution to prevent un-commanded operation of the pump
in the event of a failed control relay. TDG's UFI(R) system is the
only single installation available that provides comprehensive
protection against potential ignition sources identified by Special
Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88 system reviews.

   "We're pleased to partner with TDG for this important engineering
decision, said Walt Klein, Delta Director of Quality, Engineering &
Training. "Their product first meets our demanding safety requirements
while also meeting our objective for cost-effective solutions."
