SHIVKAR BABUJI TALPADE

Indian by the name Shivkar Bapuji Talpade had invented the modern aircraft eight years before the Wright brothers, as recently brought into discussion by a controversial paper presented at the Indian Science Congress in Mumbai, seem rather off course

The facts remain cloaked in mystery, but the legend goes that Talpade had created a flying machine powered by mercury and solar energy, and based on ideas outlined in Vedic texts

Shivkar, E. Established a laboratory in 1922 and built the first model of Vedic aircraft in modern times based on Vedmantras.  It was tested in 1895. In Mumbai's Chowpatty beach

Early life of inspiration

Talpade was born in the Chira Bazaar neighborhood of Mumbai, Maharashtra in a Pathare Prabhu family. He completed his school education in Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art. During his time there he came to know about stories describing ancient Indian aeronautics through his teacher Chiranjilal Verma, who led Talpade to read Dayanand Saraswati's works related to ancient aeronautics, such as ‘Rigvedādic Bhāshya Bhumikā’ and ‘Rigved and Yajurveda Bhāshya’.

 However, some sources also suggests that his works were based on the work done by Maharishi Bharadwaja in the Rigveda. Inspired by these texts he decided to construct the Vedic Vimāna described in the Vedas, and started learning Vedic Sanskrit language.

Marutsakhā

Talpade's airplane was named Marutsakhā, derived from the Sanskrit Marut ('air' or 'stream') and sakhā ('friend') which together mean 'Friend of wind'. As suggested by D. K. Kanjilal's 1985 Vimana in Ancient India: Aeroplanes Or Flying Machines in Ancient India, Marutsakhā is supposed to have been inspired from Vimāna, ancient flying-machines in Hindu mythology.^[5] He states that the contemporary reports in the Marāthi-language newspaper Kesari attested to the purported flight, however the article on it was written only in 1952
