Q. Who is said to have built the unmanned aircraft Marutsakhā in India?
Answer: Shivkar Bāpuji Talpade
Notes: Shivkar Bāpuji Talpade, a Sanskrit instructor from Mumbai, is credited with constructing Marutsakhā, claimed to be India's first unmanned aircraft, in 1895. These claims lack substantial historical evidence but are widely cited in modern cultural references. Subbaraya Shastry is associated with the Vaimānika Shāstra.
