This is a major milestone in the FF5000 development process, and with the assistance of MTI, FFAC expects to get back on track with its development program and complete the first prototype by the fall of 2010,” stated John J. Dupont, President and CEO of FFAC.

Chuck Taylor, Vice President of MTI, stated, “MTI is pleased with the prospect of supporting FFAC in the development of this unique and versatile aircraft. MTI’s aerospace professionals stand ready to assist Mr. Dupont to bring his vision of this exciting product to market.”
