This document describes three main methods of shuttleless weaving: projectile, rapier, and air jet. Projectile looms use small gripper bullets to carry the weft yarn across, but dragging the yarn can strain weak yarns. Rapier looms use rapiers, either single long rapiers or double rapiers that transfer the yarn between two rapiers. Air jet looms insert yarn using compressed air nozzles but cannot produce varied fabrics. Water jet looms use high pressure water to shoot the yarn across but are only suitable for hydrophobic fibers.
