               Moog Announces $50 Million Contract From Airbus

    EAST AURORA, N.Y., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Moog Inc. (NYSE:
MOG.A and MOG.B) announced today that it has been selected by Airbus Military
to supply flight controls for the new-generation military airlifter, the
A400M.  The initial contract for approximately $50 million covers the
development phase beginning immediately as well as the production of the first
180 aircraft.  Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2009 and will run through
approximately 2018.  This win will increase sales in future years but does not
change the Company's recently disclosed outlook for its fiscal year 2005.

    The Airbus Military A400M is a new multi-role air transport for use in
strategic, tactical, and in-theatre operations. The A400M has more than twice
the payload and volume of the transports it will replace. It also has an air-
to-air refueling capability both as a donor and receiver.  Seven European NATO
countries have committed as launch customers to a total of 180 aircraft.
Airbus Military foresees a further export market for around 200 aircraft over
the next 15 years in addition to the initial launch order.

    Moog is responsible for the design, manufacture, and integration of eight
fly-by-wire servoactuators for control of the aircraft's primary flight
surfaces.  These include conventional electrohydraulic actuators for the
aileron, elevator, and certain spoilers, plus advanced technology
electrohydrostatic actuators for positioning additional spoiler panels.

    "We're delighted to have the opportunity to work with Airbus on this
important new military transport," said R.T. Brady, Chairman and CEO.  "We
look forward to using our extensive capabilities in the latest technologies to
provide their fleet with enhanced performance.  Also, we want to acknowledge
the enthusiastic efforts of Senator Hillary Clinton in her support of our
Company's campaign to win this program at Airbus."

    Moog Inc. is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and integrator of
precision control components and systems. Moog's high-performance actuation
products control military and commercial aircraft, satellites and space
vehicles, launch vehicles, missiles, automated industrial machinery, and
medical equipment.
