Not only manuscript describes air chariots
In the epic "Ramayana" this instruction is also written and all constructions of vimanas are described. For example, this epic tells about the Pushpak staircase. It was decorated with columns and various arches, which was equipped with tracks. And the staircase itself could easily overcome obstacles and dive into the world of aquatic inhabitants.
"Roars like a lion" - so they said in the oldest Sanskrit books, when the chariot took off.
“A metal box that gives strength is in the middle of the ship. This "force" goes into the pipes installed on the karma and the bow of the ship. Before the journey, the pipes, to which the same "force" was received, but there were eight of them, and they looked down at the ground, opened with latches. When it rose high above the ground, the pipes that looked down were covered. This allowed the air chariot to hang in the air. Then the remaining "current" is directed into the pipe, which was on the karma of the vimana, thereby allowing to fly forward "- a description of the preparation and launch of an air chariot.
“The body is made light, strong and durable. Inside this structure is a device with iron mercury heaters. Thanks to this mercury, a human pilot in an air chariot can overcome long flights over it, “feeding on the power of mercury”. Mercury is heated by fire, which is controlled by iron heaters. After that the chariot accelerates and becomes one of the "pearls in the sky" - a general description of an air chariot.
