BBC Local LiveStress levels of aeroplane pilots will be monitored by using smart textiles, as part of a European research project with Nottingham Trent University.
The university’s advanced textiles research group will explore how smart textiles embedded in cockpit seats and pilot clothing can measure anxiety.
Professor Tilak Dias who leds the group said: "By using smart textiles we’re able to provide new prognostic and diagnostic techniques for pilot monitoring in a completely non-intrusive way."

Schools 'too focused on exams', says new Nottingham MPpublished at 14:30 British Summer Time 7 July 2017
Maryam Qaiser
BBC Local LiveAs the exam period is in full swing, the newly elected MP for Nottingham North Alex Norris, has said schools are becoming too obsessed with results.
He said more attention should be given to what children actually achieve than what exam results they get.
Mr Norris said: "If all Ofsted ever talk about are about results and progress, then that is what teachers and leaders... are going to skew towards.
"If we look more about what children went on to do after leaving secondary school for example, how well skilled they were in the world, we would see a bit more focus there.
"The balance I believe is much too one way than the other."
We'll let you know what Ofsted say when they get back to us.
