Pazi ovo:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samarangana_Sutradhara

http://www.scribd.com/doc/243196/Vimanas-King-Ravana-Ancient-Flying-Matchiens-VI

"The Amaranganasutradhara even explains the drive, the controls and the
fuel for the flying machine. It says that quicksilver and 'Rasa' were
used. Unfortunately we do not yet know what 'Rasa' was. Ten sections
deal with uncannily topical themes such as pilot training, flight paths,
the individual parts of flying machines, as well as clothing for pilots
and passengers, and the food recommended for long flights. There was
much technical detail: the metals used, heat-absorbing metals and their
melting point, the propulsion units and various types of flying
machines. The information about metals used in construction name three
sorts, somala, soundaalika and mourthwika. If they were mixed in the
right proportions, the result was 16 kinds of heat-absorbing metals with
names like ushnambhara, ushnapaa, raajaamlatrit, etc. which cannot be
translated into English. The texts also explained how to clean metals,
the acids such as lemon or apple to be used and the correct mixture, the
right oils to work with and the correct temperature for them. Seven
types of engine are described with the special functions for which they
are suited and the altitudes at which they work best. The catalogue is
not short of data about the size of the machines, which had storeys, nor
of their suitability for various purposes."

To naravno treba uzeti sa zrnom soli budući da se autor tog teksta
između ostalog referencira i na tekst Vaimanika šastra koji je jako
upitnog porijekla, ali sve skupa daje materijala za zaključak da bi tu
moglo biti nečega.
