With the rate that it climbed I would say there is plenty of lift margin.

It reminded me of the opening scene in Empire Strikes Back.

What must those martians be thinking?

Santos-Dumont was clearly one of the great pioneers of aviation.  And the 14-bis certainly deserves credits for several firsts, including first flight powered by a V-8 engine, first public flight by a standing pilot, first flight by a Brazilian in France and many others.  And if I understand how you are using the word homologated, the first aircraft successfully designed and flown to achieve a specific aviation prize. 

I somehow think you were trying to say something more with this post.
