ALBANY, N.Y., Sep 30, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MKTY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Mechanical Technology, Incorporated ("MTI") (OTC: MKTY), a leader in direct methanol fuel cell development and a worldwide supplier of non-contact measurement systems, announced its subsidiary MTI Instruments, Inc. ("MTII") has received a new multi-year contract for repairs and services on the PBS-4100 and PBS-4100PLUS vibration and balancing system the U.S. Air Force (USAF). This contract has a potential value of $6.5M over the full 5-year term.

PBS-4100 systems are used to automatically collect and record aircraft engine vibration data, identify vibration or balance trouble, and calculate a solution to the problem. This reduces engine vibration while extending engine life and lowering fuel costs. These systems are used by military forces, major airlines, and aircraft engine manufacturers in over fifty countries.

The ability of the military to quickly and accurately assess and service aircraft engine systems is critical to the mission of military forces. "In today's world, national security is paramount. We are pleased to be able to support our troops, wherever they may be deployed," said Peng Lim, CEO of MTI and General Manager of MTII. "Our team takes great pride in their work and is honored by the USAF's confidence in our company."

PBS-4100 systems are currently being used by most of the major USAF aircraft platforms including surveillance, stealth, transport aircraft, attack fighters, and strategic bombers.
