Fly by tiny plane instead of drive
The obvious choice now for a trip of less than 500 km might be to drive. But what if you could show up at an airport, bypass security checkpoints, board a small hybrid-electric plane with luggage in hand, and be on the ground at your destination in about an hour ? all for $25 each way? A company called Zunum Aero hopes to make that a reality, so you won?t think twice about flying on regional trips. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2017/04/08/why-tiny-electric-planes-and-25-tickets-could-be-the-future-of-air-travel/?

Singapore Airlines launches biofuel flights
Singapore Airlines has launched the world's first green package- flights powered in part by sustainable biofuel produced from used cooking oil. The biofuel will be combined with the usual jet fuel in a series of 12 flights over the next three months on the Airbus A350-900, which the airline company hails as its most fuel-efficient aircraft. The 12 biofuel flights will be on the airline's non-stop Singapore-San Francisco route. http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-advice/flights/cooking-oil-is-being-used-to-fuel-singapore-airline-flights/news-story/881e857395ac2473300ef6f25e85d7bb?

A 3D printed mobile home
PassivDom uses a 3D printing robot that can print the walls, roof, and floor of a 380-square-foot model home in about eight hours. When complete, the homes are autonomous and mobile, meaning they don't need to connect to external electrical and plumbing systems. https://futurism.com/a-robot-can-print-this-32000-house-in-as-little-as-8-hours/

A robot that can deal with lawn, leaves and snow
The world's first 3-in-1 autonomous robot can mow the lawn, clean up leaves, and remove snow. It cuts and mulches the lawn a fraction of an inch every time, picks up the leaves before they pile up, and removes snow a few inches at a time while it's still falling. It has a rechargeable battery and will automatically dock itself in its charging station when it needs a power boost. www.thekobi.com
