About Sonex

Sonex  Research,  Inc.,  a leader  in the  field of  combustion  technology,  is
developing its patented Sonex Combustion  System (SCS)  piston-based  technology
for in-cylinder  control of ignition and  combustion,  designed to increase fuel
mileage and reduce  emissions  of internal  combustion  engines.  Sonex plans to
complete  development,  commercialize  and  market  its  Sonex  Controlled  Auto
Ignition (SCAI)  combustion  process to the automotive  industry to improve fuel
efficiency of gasoline powered vehicles.  Additionally,  independent third-party
testing has confirmed the potential of the SCS application  for  direct-injected
diesel  engines  to  significantly   reduce  harmful  soot  in-cylinder  without
increasing  fuel  consumption.  Other  SCS  designs  are being  used to  convert
gasoline engines of various sizes to operate on safer, diesel-type "heavy fuels"
for use in military and commercial  applications requiring light weight and safe
handling and storage of fuel, such as in UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles).
