North Plains, OR, 11 December 2007 - WheelTug Limited is pleased to announce that Daniel Barbalata has joined as the WheelTug Program Manager for the Boeing 737NG family of aircraft.

The proprietary WheelTug technology is designed to allow airplanes to taxi without using their main engines, saving expensive jet fuel, maintenance costs, and reducing harmful emissions. The technology consists of special high-torque AC electric motors in the nosewheel hub that can drive the aircraft without the need for external tugs.

Mr. Barbalata, who has extensive and relevant experience in aerospace program development at both Hispano-Suiza, and Bombardier Aerospace, will be responsible for managing the complete WheelTug 737NG development and certification program. The program has now been formally launched.

"We are very pleased to have Daniel on board," said Isaiah Cox, WheelTug's CEO. "He has an extremely solid grasp of what needs to be done to bring WheelTug to market. The program is in excellent hands."

Daniel Barbalata added, "WheelTug is one of the most exciting new developments in the aerospace industry. The system will not only improve the fuel efficiency per trip and cut down maintenance costs, but it will also revolutionize airport ground operations, making them leaner, safer, greener and more cost effective. I am very proud to be part of the WheelTug development team."

In September, WheelTug added Newport Aeronautical Development, Inc. to its certification team, which also includes Gilbert Thompson. WheelTug continues to seek exceptional candidates for the engineering team.

WheelTug and Delta Air Lines entered into an agreement in the spring of 2007 in which the airline will assist WheelTug in developing the system and be the launch customer for the 737NG WheelTug worldwide, with the right to acquire WheelTugs for its own 737NG fleet. The agreement also gives Delta the right of first refusal to provide installation and maintenance services on WheelTug systems in the United States for itself and for other airlines that desire such services. Delta has also taken an option to buy up to 600,000 shares of WheelTug plc at an average price of $36 per share.

Among the potential benefits of the WheelTug system are reduced fuel consumption, noise and emissions, shorter aircraft turnaround times between flights and a reduction in flight delays. The congested nature of many international airports also means that eliminating the frequent use of tugs to haul aircraft could also make a positive impact on airside safety.
