Hypoxia

Transcript

the life support system is for the pilots.

When they're in the aircraft, it's,

So when they're flying up in the jets,

We want to try and make the environment

that they are in as close

So in order to do that,

sometimes pressurized,

in order to make sure that the environment

because they're going to be pulling high

due to the pressure difference

We can have something

which you can sometimes experience

It means that there's a lack of oxygen

through the lungs and into the brain,

And the effects can sometimes

Which is not something you really want.

While you're flying fast, yet

So life support system, is is designed

can operate comfortably

in terms of the, F-35 to Tempest,

because mostly people need

And that doesn't vary too much.

So the principle is still the same.

You need to provide

potentially pressurized,

The only difference is, is probably going

how it's integrated into the system

And one area that we are looking at is,

which is embedding sort of sensors into

So to make sure that the pilot

So that might be incorporated

So you can sort of measure certain things

another sort of physical responses

if they have a particular high workload

or if they're having problems

One of the big things,

that we're trying to tackle at

So we know that pilots will,

unaware of sort of sensors,

sensors,

So if we can tell the pilot

this is a problem, you're potentially

That could then really help,
