If cars lose significant power at high altitudes, how are ICE-powered planes overcoming this challenge?
In: Technology
Airplanes are moving very fast, so they pull in air as they move into it.
This doesn’t fully account for the lack of oxygen, but a stationary plane at cruising altitude wouldn’t be able to perform at nearly the same capacity as a moving plane at the same altitude. They just deal with the inefficiency at a certain point.
