In this series, I feature the ideas, insights, and stories of the world’s most innovative entrepreneurs<\/a>. Today, I caught up with Bogdan Radu<\/a> the founder of FIPSI.<\/p>\n

1) What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?<\/h3>\n
\"\"
“The vision was to create an unstoppable vehicle which could deliver solutions needed in any situation (but especially emergency situations.) Imagine having help easier, faster, and everywhere each and every time it\u2019s needed! It\u2019s time to change the way we travel and not simply upgrade the vehicles we already have.” -Bogdon Radu, Founder of FIPSI.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Being in the kitchen you can expect to invent a new type of plate, knife, fork, or a new
\ntype of stove, refrigerator, or dishwasher. Being in the kitchen I found a new way of packaging a revolutionary transportation vehicle. I decided to create a unique UNSTOPPABLE vehicle by using the existing well-known technologies but packaging them in a different way.<\/p>\n

This new vehicle is named FIPSI = Flying Innovative Personnel Space Icon.
\nSeeing an unanswered question for which people have been dreaming of for decades, I
\ndecided to transform the so-called \u201cconventional transportation\u201d to an unconventional transportation (based on today\u2019s criteria).<\/p>\n

Up to now, there has been a way of packaging a car and a way of packaging an
\nairplane or helicopter.<\/p>\n

Everybody tried to change an airplane and make it fold and be able to ride
\nlike a car. With FIPSI, I changed the concept by packaging a car to be transformed and become a Flying Car or Drone.<\/p>\n

I created a Flying Car or Drone vehicle, which will not help the operator to fly from San
\nFrancisco to Los Angeles or from New York to Washington, D.C., but can help people
\nmove freely inside big crowded cities anywhere in the world and also be used in any
\nremote location.<\/p>\n

2) What problems will your idea solve?<\/h3>\n

Many times, people who need help are stuck in a traffic jam or in some inaccessible or
\nremote area, which can cause frustration, pain, or even death, due to someone being
\nunable to reach them quickly enough. This will be avoided by using FIPSI Flying Car,
\nwhich will eliminate all these above difficulties.<\/p>\n

GPS technology can help us locate anybody who needs help using a phone anywhere,
\nbut we do not yet have a way to quickly and easily reach that person. I feel the frustration when an ambulance, fire truck, police car, etc., tries to move quickly through traffic by using sirens or flashing lights to alert others of the urgency of a quick and fast movement.<\/p>\n

Similar frustrations could appear when a road is blocked by trees or stones, when a
\nbridge is falling apart, when people are stuck in a remote fire or flooded area, in a high-
\nrise building on fire, during an earthquake, or in war zone areas. Regular helicopter
\nsupport can take a lot of time, and the price of using it is at least 10 times more than the
\nproposed FIPSI vehicle\u2019s would be.<\/p>\n

The FIPSI Flying Car or Drone vehicle can be used:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. As a Search and Rescue (SAR) vehicle for many types of natural catastrophic
    \nevents, such as earthquakes, fires, etc.<\/li>\n
  2. As a quick and easy deployment of military personnel wherever they are needed.<\/li>\n
  3. As a quick and easy way to protect the borders or for special services and police
    \npersonnel deployment.<\/li>\n
  4. By any company that needs to go to remote or inaccessible areas.<\/li>\n
  5. As an amphibian vehicle to save people in flooded areas.<\/li>\n
  6. By the oil companies to deploy or give support to the oil rig platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The advantages and benefits of FIPSI are:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. FIPSI brings to market a new unconventional and unstoppable vehicle that can
      \nbenefit from all the 6 degrees of freedom.<\/li>\n
    2. FIPSI is able to deliver solutions needed in emergency situations and bring help
      \nmore quickly everywhere and every time it is needed.<\/li>\n
    3. FIPSI vehicle owners or operators will keep their independence to go wherever
      \nthey want.<\/li>\n
    4. FIPSI can store its rotors inside the car body, so the car will go unnoticed from
      \nothers when driving.<\/li>\n
    5. Storing the rotors inside the car body will prevent damaging the rotors\u2019 blades
      \nwhen they are not needed, and will minimize the parking storage footprint space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
