Mysterious planes of Ancient India
In 7000 BC, Rishi Bhardwaj's Vaimanika Shastra detailed the descriptions of several aeroplanes. He based them on changes in the ecosystem (winter, summer, etc.). In his texts we find different types of Vimanas- Mantrik, Tantrik, Kritika, etc. For example, Sundar Viman relied on solar energy, gas engines, furnace pipes. Shakun Viman used special metal which made it heat resistant. In 2017, an American Aeronautical Engineer, Travis Taylor, technically proved the sage's designs. He said the designs are perfectly aerodynamic. So did airplanes rule the skies thousands of years ago?
