The flying chariot shone like a flame in the night sky of summer... it swept by like a comet... It was if two suns were shining. Then the chariot rose up and all the heavens brightened. [...] And on this sunlike, divine, wonderful chariot the wise disciple of Kuru flew joyously upward. When becoming invisible to the mortals who walk the earth, he saw wondrous airborne chariots by the thousands.

Helios (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios)' chariot of the sun (Red figure kalyx-crater Greek (Attic), ca.430 BC London, British Museum)




The splendid chariot, made of silver and coated with tiger-skin, and bright like the fire itself, making a noise like the roaring of the clouds; defying all obstacles, adorned with jewels and gold, dazzling to the eyesight and bright... went speedily on, making space resound like unto the muttering cloud in the sky. He issued out of his abode like the beautiful moon passing through a huge cloud.

Elijah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah#Departure)'s fiery chariot (ca. 1473 MS M.677, fol. 311r)




Ki-kung-shi was able to make a flying chariot which driven by a fair wind travelled a great distance. At the time of the emperor Ch'eng T'ang (1766-54 B.C., founder of the Shang dynasty) the west wind blew Ki-kung's chariot as far as Yü-chou (Ho-nan). The emperor ordered this chariot to be destroyed that it should not become known to the people. Ten years later when the east wind blew, the emperor caused another chariot of this kind to be built by Ki-kung and sent him back in it."
