>From tradition, more than 5000 years.  Vimans belonged to the Gods, not
mortals.  Ravana,
who defeated the Gods, had the Pushpak Vimana.
Mortals neither designed nor made vimans, though some aspects of their
design were known
according to certain sources.
Mortals managed on foot, chariots, etc. till the invention of the bicycle
and the
internal combustion engine.
