Universidad Panamericana marked another milestone on its path toward technological development and innovation with the achievement of its fourth patent. Known as Flight Stabilization System of a Single-Person Cockpit in Autonomous Flight Aircraft, this invention promises to transform the aviation industry and the transportation of cargo and passengers.
This achievement is an integral part of the institutional strategy for innovation and technology transfer led by the Corporate Directorate of Innovation and Technology Transfer within the Office of the Vice Rector for Research.
Dr. Juan Alberto González Piñón, in his capacity as a member of the Pan-American Intellectual Property Management Center, emphasizes the importance of supporting and assisting researchers in managing the inventions resulting from their intellectual work.
The mechatronic system, registered under National Patent Application MX/a/2020/002887 and granted on March 12, 2024, is a state-of-the-art solution for autonomous aircraft, ensuring stability during all phases of flight to guarantee the safety and comfort of the crew and cargo.
Stabilization is achieved through precise control of engine speed and wing position using high-precision servomotors. This innovation is the result of a collaborative effort by prominent members of the UP community, including Research Professor Dr. Fidencio Tapia Rodríguezfrom the School of Engineering, and alumnus Elías González Horn, along with other external researchers.
The success of this patent underscores Panamericana’s commitment to excellence and technological progress, while also setting an important precedent for future research and development in the aerospace industry. The University continues to lead in research and innovation, making a significant contribution to national and international scientific and technological progress.
