NewScientist reports Nanocomp, a start-up based in New Hampshire, succeeded in creating a carbon nanotube textile.  This textile could potentially be used to create super lightweight armor since the company claims pound for pound it is seven times stronger than steel.  They are currently able to make 1 meter by 3 meter sheets but hope to make larger sheets in a year or so.  They are also able to spin the nanotubes into a thread.

This form of nanotube material can also conduct electricity.  Aircraft manufactures could theoretically use it as a lightweight wiring.
