Vimanas and the Vaimanika Shastra

Main article: Vaimānika Shāstra

An illustration of the Shakuna Vimana that is supposed to fly like a bird with hinged wings and tail. The Vaimānika Shāstra is an early 20th-century Sanskrit text on aeronautics, obtained allegedly by mental channeling, about the construction of vimānas, the "chariots of the Gods". The existence of the text was revealed in 1952 by G. R. Josyer, according to whom it is due to one Pandit Subbaraya Shastry, who dictated it in 1918–1923. A Hindi translation was published in 1959, the Sanskrit text with an English translation in 1973. It has 3000 shlokas in 8 chapters and was attributed by Shastry to Maharishi Bharadvaja,[14] which makes it of purportedly "ancient" origin, and hence it has a certain notability in ancient astronaut theories. A study by aeronautical and mechanical engineering at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1974 concluded that the aircraft described in the text were "poor concoctions" and that the author showed complete lack of understanding of aeronautics.

Shivkar Bapuji Talpade

Shivkar Bapuji Talpade was an Indian scientist who some believe built and flew an airplane in Bombay, India, in 1895 -eight years before the flight of the Wright brothers. The information to built this device was said to have been found in ancient Vedic texts, though nobody since has been able to recreate these mechanisms.
