Aeronautics (from Greek ὰήρ āēr which means "air" and ναυτική nautikē which means "navigation, seamanship", i.e. "navigation of the air") is the science involved with the study, design, and manufacture of flight-capable machines, or the techniques of operating aircraft. While the term—literally meaning "sailing the air"—originally referred solely to the science of operating the aircraft, it has since been expanded to include technology, business and other aspects related to aircraft. One of the significant parts in aeronautics is a branch of physical science called aerodynamics, which deals with the motion of air and the way that it interacts with objects in motion, such as an aircraft. Aviation is a term sometimes used interchangeably with aeronautics, although "aeronautics" includes lighter-than-air craft such as airships, while "aviation" does not. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Hello - Sun Mar 9 17:55:06 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Embry Riddle - I don't know many pilots, but the ones I do know have gone there to get their piloting education. You should also look into going to flight school, and there are many across the country. Many state universities offer bachelor degrees in aviation sciences. I am not sure about the Lacrosse scholarship but they have intercollegiate sports so it's possible.

Q. The Yantra Sarvaswa of Maharshi Bharadwaja, Vimaana Chandrika of Maharshi Narayan, Vyoma Yaana Tantra of Sounaka, and Vyoma Yaanarka of Dandi Natha are some of them. They contained topics like Maargadhi Karana (Navigation and control of speed during flight), Lohaadhi Karana (alloys used for various components of the aircraft) and Saktyaadhi Karana (production and usage of various fuels used in aircrafts). Para Sabda Grahakata is a subject of monitoring the flight tracks of aircrafts, navigatory communication system, and monitoring the conversation of the pilots in the aircrafts. Maharshi Gouthama mentioned 32 models of aircrafts used in Treta Yuga; only one model among them, called Pushpaka Vimaanam, became popular in the Ramayana.

A few years ago I came across a show on the learning channel that said there is an ancient Indian text in sandscript that describes an invasion from space. Apparantly this script is quite extensive and covers the story of our planet before, during, and after the invasion after the human race rallied to kick the aliens' butts. So my theory is that the Indian people kept meticulous records, and that's where the ancient aeronautics came from.
