Orville Wright, who took the first air journey ', was born on August 19, 1871.  He, along with his elder brother Wilbur, was shown making and flying the first air-heavy aircraft.  It was a manual aircraft.  It was flown 120 feet on December 17, 1903 by Orville.  By the way, the claims of making the aircraft are being made long back.  Shivkar Bapuji Talpade is believed to have flown his aircraft at a height of one and a half thousand feet in 1895, eight years before the flight of American Wright brothers.  Although it was not a manual flight.  Its report was published in Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak's newspaper 'Kesari', mentioning that Talpade had shown the feat on Chowpatty Beach in Mumbai in front of a large crowd including Mahadev Govind Ranade and Maharaj Sayajirao Gaekwad III.  Born in 1864 in Mumbai's Chirabazar area, Shivkar was a Sanskrit scholar who built his 'Marutashakti' aircraft based on Vedic technology.  In his youth he was attracted by the 'Aeronautical Science' as interpreted by Maharishi Bharadwaj.  Despite this achievement, the British Raj obstructed him, due to which he stopped getting help for his research.  This Vedic scientist died in 1916.
