                                  PUT AGREEMENT
                                  -------------

      Agreement made as of the 26th day of October, 2001 by the parties
identified on Schedule A hereto ("Investors").

      WHEREAS, the Investors are holders of certain convertible notes and
preferred stock of Advanced Aerodynamics & Structures, Inc. ("AASI") previously
issued on or about March 6, 2000, June 30, 2000, November 3, 2000, January 26,
2001, February 14, 2001, March 23, 2001, June 27, 2001, and July 25, 2001 and
such other dates as such convertible notes and Series A Preferred Stock may have
been issued ("Investors Securities"); and

      WHEREAS, some of the Investors are contemplating investing funds to
purchase additional convertible notes of AASI in an offering by AASI of a
minimum of $7,000,000 and a maximum of $10,000,000 of principal convertible note
amount (the "Offering") and it would be beneficial to the Investors and AASI if
such investment were made.

      NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which
is acknowledged.

      1. The Investors each for itself grants to AASI the option of selling to
each such Investor an amount of Convertible Notes in the amount described below
(the "Put") on substantially the same terms and conditions of the Offering, not
including the grant of a security interest.

      2. The aggregate maximum amount of the Put which may be exercised by AASI
is $5,000,000.

      3. The aggregate maximum amount of the Put for each Investor
("Proportionate Share") is set forth on Schedule A hereto and must be paid in
cash and not by surrender of any other debt instrument of any other debt
instrument of AASI held by Investor notwithstanding any other agreement.

      4. The amount of the Put that may be exercised from time to time as to
each Investor by AASI shall be equal to the closing bid price of AASI on a
Conversion Date (as defined in the Investors Securities) in connection with a
conversion of the Investor Securities by the Investor, multiplied by the number
of registered AASI Class A common shares received by the Investor from such
conversion.

      5. The aggregate maximum amount of the Put (and corresponding dollar
amount of the Investor's Proportionate Shares) shall be reduced dollar for
dollar by all sums raised by AASI after the date of this Put Agreement, not
including the minimum amount of the Offering, through the sale by AASI of Class
A Common Stock or any instrument convertible into Class A Common Stock ("Other
Fundings"). AASI agrees to expeditiously notify the Investors of the receipt of
any proceeds from Other Fundings.

      6. Each Put exercise must relate to not less than $100,000 or such lesser
amount of the Proportionate Share remaining outstanding. AASI's right to
exercise the Put shall expire one year from the date of this Put Agreement.

      7. Each Investor further agrees that until one year from the date of this
Put Agreement, the Investor will not sell, during any five trading day period
commencing on a Tueday and ending the following Monday, AASI Class A Common
Stock received or receivable upon conversion of the Investors Securities or
conversion of any convertible notes purchased by Investors in the Offering, in
an amount greater than the percentage amount designated on Schedule A ("Sales
Percentage") of the reported trading volume of the AASI Class A Common Stock for
such five trading day period. A transferee of Investor Securities, as a
condition of such transfer, must consent in writing to the limitation described
in this Paragraph "7", otherwise AASI is instructed not to transfer such
Investors Securities or the Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of such Investors Securities. The percentage limitation described in
this Paragraph "7" may be modified pro rata as to all Investors with the written
approval of Investors holding, at the time of such modification, not less than
sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding convertible note principal and Stated
Value of the Investors Securities and convertible notes issued to Investors in
the Offering. The foregoing limitation does not apply to Investors Securities
held by Alpha Capital Aktiengesellschaft consisting of (i) a convertible note in
the principal amount of $100,000 issued July 25, 2001, and (ii) 240 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and also does not apply to 160 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by Esquire Trade & Finance, Inc.

      8. AASI and the Investors agree to execute the documents reasonably
necessary to carry out the intentions of this Put Agreement.

      9. AASI will not take any action inconsistent with this Put Agreement.
