Southampton, PA, USA, Jul 18, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - Environmental Tectonics Corporation (OTC Pink: ETCC) ("ETC" or the "Company") announced today the shipment of the third and fourth chambers, completing the requirement of four Research Altitude Chambers (http://www.etcaircrewtraining.com/hypobaric-chamber-altitude-chamber) to the 711th Performance Wing at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH, USA.

The third and fourth altitude chambers, which are part of a total suite of four chambers sold to the U.S. Air Force, were shipped on June 24, 2014 and July 2, 2014, respectively. The chambers are currently undergoing installation, and will be integrated with the facility, as well as the other two chambers that are currently onsite.
