These include lift, propeller thrust, and engine combustion. This actually decreases the engine’s efficiency in converting engine power into thrust. Reduced thrust means decreased aircraft performance and fuel efficiency. Jet engines also experience reduced thrust in less dense air. The post What Is Air Density?

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. Since I filed an IFR flight plan, I requested the Flagstaff One SID. When we reached the OATES intersection, I pointed the Six toward Winslow.
