Air density is perhaps the single most important factor affecting aircraft performance.

The East to West flight was always more challenging, but became feasible as aircraft performance improved through the '20s.

Some ways to increase aircraft performance in hot and high conditions include:

Alternately, runway lengths may be increased to make up for reduced aircraft performance.

Overall, simulation of aircraft performance may be more accurate.

Using them is considered a best practice to maximize aviation safety, aircraft performance or both.

Recent analytic and experimental distributed propulsion studies suggest several improvements in aircraft performance.

First entering production in 1952, the Duster quickly became outdated as aircraft performance increased.

The decision was based not only on aircraft performance but also on contractor performance.

All three factors increase stalling speed and reduce aircraft performance, making it very difficult to climb or even maintain level altitude.
