ZAPOPAN, Jalisco; July 13, 2022.
The Universidad Panamericana, through the professor and officially inventor, Dr. Fidencio Tapia Rodriguez, registered his creation "Utility Model" as Intellectual Property worldwide.
Dr. Fidencio Tapia Rodríguez, research professor at the Guadalajara Campus, officially registered as Intellectual Property (the second since the foundation of the Panamericana), within the category of Industrial Design, the "Utility Model", which is a cabin for carrying a person with a protective cage that provides structure and resistance in the event of an impact.
The cockpit has an upward swinging door which, when closed, allows full visibility. The cockpit is also fitted with a ballistic parachute which in an emergency fires like a bullet to open the parachute quickly for a smooth drop avoiding damage to the aircraft, anything it hits on the way down and, most importantly, to the passenger.
"The hope for this year is to be able to fly a working prototype to demonstrate its functionality," said Dr Fidencio Tapia Rodríguez.
The "Utility Model" is the continuity of the "Personal and Electric Aircraft Cabin", which was recognized in 2021 as the first Intellectual Property registration by the Universidad Panamericana. This invention is part of Akxo, the first means of personal, electric and urban air transportation.
The aim of the invention is to have a personal, aerial, electric and urban transport, which means that a person can move around the city, without emitting polluting gases, flying at a speed of between 40 km/hr in an aircraft that can land and take off vertically.
The aim of this invention is to reduce traffic in cities by means of aerial mobility and, in the future, to make it a means of transport worldwide. Likewise, this aircraft is electric, does not need a runway to land and take off, needs very small areas for its use and the shape of the flying vehicle gives it stability in the air, providing safety for the user.
Panamericana is honoured to obtain the second Intellectual Property registration in the history of the university, thanks to the discipline, initiative, passion and ingenuity shown by the inventor Fidencio and his team. Likewise, it reiterates its support to encourage research and development of new ideas that add value to society.
