The Flying Shuttle was made by an English inventor named John Kay in 1733. It was used for making weaving much faster. Allowing people to make larger looms operated by one person, Using levers and springs to pull the shuttle back. The Flying Shuttle became a very important invention in the textile industry, eventually put one or two shuttle throwers out of a job. The Flying Shuttle did use a lot of yarn and did make the supply of yarn even worse. The invention could produce a large piece of cloth; the invention was thrown by a leaver that could be operated by one weaver. Kay placed shuttle boxes at each side of the loom connected by a long board, known as a shuttle race. A single weaver, using one hand, could cause the shuttle to be moved back and forth across the loom from one shuttle box to the other. Some woollen manufacturers used the Flying Shuttle but did not pay him royalties. Many people from the textile industry were of course very offended and attacked John Kay home and destroyed his invention, because they thought "The Flying Shuttle" was such a successful invention it would have taken work away from them. Many people have tried creating well duplicating his invention but have not really succeeded. Inventions of the revolution in textiles were weaving and spinning while the Flying Shuttle had the scene of mechanical weaving; the spinning frame was also important making the textile industry. John Kay's invention had lead the industrial revolution. Without his Flying Shuttle, there would have been no need for the spinning machines that followed, Like the Spinning Jenny for instance.
It changed the manual labor based weaving industry into a mechanized industry, with many weavers becoming unemployed and John Kay getting death threat.
The Industrial Revolution was long over before the first airplane flew so it had no effect.
It speeded up making Cotten but splitting three threads into one
The flying shuttle affected the industrial revolution because it produced higher quantities of cloth and changed the industry from workers to machines.
it decreased the number of workers required to operate looms, which saved labor costs
In the industrial revolution there wasn't a " flying shuttle."
John Kay made the flying shuttle
The guy who created the flying shuttle is John Kay
I came here to do a project with a few minuets left and you have no answers! how irresponsible.
John Kay - flying shuttle - died in 1780.
John Kay invented the flying shuttle during the year 1733.
1733
in the national dumpster
The flying shuttle works by shooting it of ramp and it goes at about 60 mph on a piece of string and helps on a loom this was created in 1749
The weaver had to push the shuttle by hand, which was much slower.
to fly to space.... i guess.
He invented the flying shuttle.
because it can suck my balls
