D A ILY INNOVATION BRIEF   By Journalists Edward  Kane & Marya nne Kane  CLIMATE CHANGE:  BRINGING MY FAVORITE COFFEE BEANS TO EXTINCTION?                                                                                           Source:  Stock By 2050, Climate Change will have rendered unproductive half of the land currently used to grow high quality coffee.  Here's what we know: Higher temperatures threaten coffee bean growth Scientists are searching for a wild grown bean that is heat and drought resistant 60 of the world's 120+ coffee bean varieties could become extinct One possible solution:  a coffee plant discovered in Sierra Leone that is heat and drought tolerant Called Stenophylla - a blind taste test by coffee connoisseurs showed over 80% couldn't tell the difference between Stenophylla and Arabica, the world's most popular coffee Among the many concerns from Climate Change, including the sunburning of Antarctic penguins and seals, the possible end of our r

  Celera 500L is Shaped Like a Bullet, Torpedo and Egg                                             Source:  Otto Aviation Aircraft Designed to be Aerodynamically Green, Inexpensive & A Breakthrough The new Otto Celera 500L bullet plane is like no other aircraft out there.  It is distinguished by its aerodynamic shape, which is similar to a bullet, torpedo and egg. The design shape dramatically cuts drag on the aircraft and allows air to flow smoothly and freely around it.  As a result, the plane burns far less fuel and is breakthrough in  efficiency. Otto Aviation, a US startup in California, says it is 80% more fuel efficient than competing aircraft in its class and size.  This new vehicle has the potential to be a breakthrough concept in aviation.  It is so important because aircraft are one of the greatest polluters that contribute to climate change globally. Let's Drill Down on the Engineering This plane is a prototype designed by veteran aerospace engineer William Otto, CE
