Q

Barometric Pressure

A

Will decrease with increase of altitude and engine efficency will decline
-Increase in barometric pressure will result in increase of density and thrust

Q

Humidity

A

Amout of water vapor present in the air
Increase in humidity = less density and less thrust
decrease in humidity = more density and more thrust
