Professors from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Bangalores Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have carried out a detailed study of two books - Brihad Vimana Sastra by Shri Bramhamuni Parivrajaka published in 1959 in Hindi, and-Vymanika Shastra by Shri G R Josyer published in 1973 in English - and published a scientific report based on facts and analysis. According to the article titled A critical study of the work Vymanika Shastra, published in Scientific Opinion by H S Mukunda, S M Deshpande, H R Nagendra, A Prabhu, and S P Govindaraju from IISc, both books contained texts that are part of Yantra Sarvaswa authored by sage Bharadwaja. The article concludes that the planes described in those books are at best poor concoctions, the geometries are unimaginably horrendous from the point of view of flying and the principles of propulsion make them resist, rather than assist, flying. They also report that Parivrajaka and Josyer may be attributing meaning to slokas based on what we know today. Capt Anand J Bodas, the presenter of the talk titled Ancient Indian Aviation Technology, in his December 26 interview to Mirror claimed that ancient aeroplanes could fly forward, as well as reverse, from continent to continent, and from planet to planet. Its been 40 years since the IISc professors published their work, concluding that the above mentioned books do not provide any convincing scientific data. The right thing for Capt Bodas to do is to challenge the scientific study of IISc faculty and publish his scientific work in IIScs Current Science journal or any other international science journal as a peer reviewed article. Peer review is the scientifically acceptable way for publishing scientific claims. Publishing a nonreviewed book does not count.... mumbaimirror/others/sunday-read/Stop-scientific-distortion/articleshow/45744378.cms
