2: What effect does high density altitude have on the efficiency of a UA propeller? Density altitude does not affect propeller efficiency. gross weight is reduced. 2: A stall occurs when the smooth airflow over the unmanned airplaneā€™s wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly.

Mastering Short Field Landings (A Step-by-Step Guide)

Pilot Institute

The POH lists landing distances for specific gross weights. Smaller aircraft may only have short field landing distances for maximum gross weight. Temperature An increase in temperature will increase the density altitude. A high density altitude decreases the performance of the engine and the wing.

Nothing Small About It

Plane and Pilot

Meaningful weight conservation comes from the elimination of a spar overlap a two-piece wing would require plus the one-piece design is easier to build accurately. The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance.
