Environmental Tectonics Corporation Consolidates Position as a Leading Supplier of Environmental Test Equipment to the Auto Sport Industry

SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., May 27, 2003 -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (AMEX:ETC) Testing and Simulations Systems Division today announced that it has been awarded a contract to design an advanced test system for one of the premier International Race Car Engine Manufacturer. The system will control the speed, temperature and humidity of the air at the engine intake.

This advanced system will be able to simulate the rapid changes in speed that the engine air horn intake sees as the race car travels around the race track. It will enable finer tuning of the engine as the RAM air effects can be taken into consideration.

ETC was selected for this project because of their experience in very high-speed valve systems and airflow control. The project will include the design of the aerodynamic contraction and airflow conditioning section as well as the temperature- and humidity-conditioning package.

This is the fourth test system that ETC has provided leading Race Car Engine manufacturers in the last 2 years and helps to consolidate our position as the leading supplier of test equipment to the auto sport industry.

Roger Macklin, European Operations Director for the Test and Simulation Systems Group, said: "This project underlines our commitment to provide advanced and practical solutions to allow our customers to generate repeatable simulation ever closer to the real world. It gives our customers the edge."

ETC designs, develops, installs and maintains aircrew training systems, public entertainment systems, process simulation systems (sterilization and environmental), clinical hyperbaric systems, environmental testing and simulation systems, and related products for domestic and international customers.
