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

I'm in tears. --- End quote --- 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. |
