    Shivkar Bapuji Talpade


    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Shivkar Bpuji Talpade (born in 1864 in Mumbai) is an Indian scholar who is supposed to have
    constructed and flown India's first unmanned airplane in 1895.,[1] 8 years before the Wright brothers' Wright
    Flyer, the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight. Talpade's airplane was
    named Marutsakh. Talpade lived in Mumbai and was a scholar of Sanskrit literature and the Vedas.[2]
    Talpade is supposed to have constructed Marutsakh under the guidance of Pandit Subbarya Shstry.
    Shstry was the author of the Vaimnika Shstra, an early 20th-century Sanskrit text on aeronautics
    supposedly obtained by psychic channeling studies and automatic writing. Contemporary accounts of a
    successful flight or evidences of such an achievement are scarce and the technical feasibility is dubious.[3]
    The technical basis of the Vedic Ion Design of supposedly used by Talpade has been deprecated by
    researches into the technological feasibility of such flights Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore,.[4] This
    issue was also raised by Steven J. Rosen [5] in his book 'The Jedi in the Lotus: Star Wars and the Hindu
    Tradition'.
    Marutsakh may have been constructed based on Vimna, mythological flying machines from Vedic
    literature. This is suggested by D. K. Kanjilal's 1985 Vimana in Ancient India: Aeroplanes Or Flying
    Machines in Ancient India, as well as reports contemporary to Talpade in the Marthi-language newspaper
    Kesari.[6] One of Talpade's students, Pt. S. D. Satawlekar, wrote that Marutsakh sustained flight for a few
    minutes.[7] According to K.R.N. Swamy "a curious scholarly audience headed by a famous Indian judge and
    a nationalist, Mahadeva Govin-da Ranade and H H Sayaji Rao Gaekwad, respectively, had the good fortune
    to see the unmanned aircraft named as Marutsakthi take off, fly to a height of 1500 feet and then fall down
    to earth".[8] The presence of Mahadev Govind Ranade and Sayajirao Gaekwad III during the flight is also
    cited in "Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute".[9] A former Indian defense officer stated in
    2004 that Marutsakh failed to operate to its full design limits due to technical reasons.[7]
    After the experiment, Marutsakh apparently was stored at Talpade's house until well after his death.
    Velakara quotes one of Talpade's nieces, Roshan Talpade, as saying the family used to sit in the aircraft's
    frame and imagine they were flying.[6] A model reconstruction of Marutsakh was exhibited at an exhibition
    on aviation at Vile Parle, and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has preserved documents relating to the
    experiment.[7]
    A film based on life of Talpade, Hawaizaada, starring Ayushmann Khurrana is slated to release on January
    30, 2015. The film was earlier titled as Bambai Fairytale (Official Theatrical trailer
    (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjtN0IV_lJc) on YouTube).
