|
What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on propeller efficiency and why?
|
Effiency is reduced cuz the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.
|
|
Which combination of atmospheric conditions will reduce aircraft takeoff and climb performance?
|
High temperature, high relative humidity, and high density altitude.
|
