Q

Temperature effects on air

A

Temperature increases air becomes less dense, higher pressure, decreasing performance, and decreasing speed.
Temperature decreases air becomes more dense, lower pressure, increasing performance, and increasing speed.

Q

Aircraft performance at higher altitude

A

Aircraft performs worse at higher altitude solely because of the decrease in density of air due to the less air at higher altitudes
