Key Takeaways Air density affects aircraft performance, including lift, engine power, and propeller effectiveness. These include lift, propeller thrust, and engine combustion. This increased density increases airflow over the wings, generating more lift. Fewer air molecules result in less dense air, which means less lift.

Aerodynamic Differences Fixed-Wing Aircraft (Airplanes) Airplanes , or fixed-wing aircraft, generate lift through their stationary wings as they move forward. This pressure difference produces lift, allowing the aircraft to ascend. Each rotor blade acts as an airfoil, and as it rotates, it moves air over its surface, generating lift.
