AeroTwin Reports on Variety of Engine Applications

New Belt Drive Option Expands the Market for Sport Aircraft

High Torque Changing Drive/Prop Configurations - Shorter
Takeoffs, Quieter Flight
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 27, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirScooter Corporation (Pink
Sheets:ASCO), an innovator of new air vehicle technology, reported today on
progress of its wholly-owned subsidiary, AeroTwin Motors and its line of
AeroTwin(r) sport aircraft engines and accessories. AeroTwin has added to its
website (www.aerotwinmotors.com/newpages/media.htm) illustrative photos of
specific vehicle applications employing AT972T (turbo version) and AT972
(standard - natural aspirated) engines. These early applications illustrate the
wide variety of new and retrofit sport aircraft, powered parachutes and
hovercraft benefiting from AeroTwin's power/torque/weight performance. Current
applications are located in Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia
with many other countries expressing interest for future purchase.

"We are seeing strong interest from 2-seat craft that need more power/torque
than a two-stroke engine can provide but don't want to incur the weight and cost
of other options," said Dwaine Barnes, president of AeroTwin. "This diverse
range of early adopters will influence future customers. We are targeting
specific sport aircraft (new and retrofit), powered parachutes and the rapidly
growing market for larger hovercraft."

AeroTwin offers a variety of gear box reduction assemblies and recently
introduced a new reduction belt drive
(www.aerotwinmotors.com/newpages/beltdrive.htm) that raises the prop centerline
for a lighter and more compact installation package. "We have experienced a
number of sport aircraft that are restricted by the size and mounting
configuration of the engine compartment," noted Barnes. "Our new belt drive is
being installed in a number of these craft allowing them to benefit from a more
robust engine than alternative two-strokes. Now with both a range of gear boxes
and a flexible belt drive option, AeroTwin can meet the power needs of most
sport aircraft."

The distinguishing feature of AeroTwin is its power/torque/weight performance
(www.aerotwinmotors.com/newpages/features.htm). The significantly higher and
broader useable torque range challenges some common drive/prop assumptions. "In
recent months we have been working with aircraft owners and consultants, prop
manufacturers and consultants and our consulting aeronautical engineer to
properly match our engine to major sport aircraft types," said Barnes. "Early
application designs generally have resulted in matching a longer and heavier
prop geared to lower engine RPMs. This is possible with AeroTwin due to high
torque over a broad useable RPM range. The benefits include shorter takeoff
distances at less throttle, lower engine operating temperatures and less noise."

"While our engine development has been lengthy and costly, we are very excited
about recent progress and especially the robust performance we are seeing from
the proper matching of our engine and props in specific sport aircraft types,"
concluded Barnes. "As this performance becomes widely known, we expect rapid
market acceptance of our light, quiet, and powerful four-stroke engines over the
coming months."
