Clearly I'm not going to go out a MLB park and start hitting home runs. I'm also not going to put that park in a giant dome so that I can change the ambient humidity and other factors. No, that would ...

Knowing the air density outside of a spacecraft can have a substantial effect on its angle of descent and ability to hit a specific landing spot. But sensors that can withstand the harsh hypersonic ...

Mountain hikes are invigorating. Crisp air and clear views can refresh the soul, but thin air presents an additional challenge for high-altitude birds. "All else being equal, bird wings produce less ...

Pressure altitude is the height of an aircraft above a theoretical standard datum plane, corresponding to an altimeter setting of 29.92 inHg, and is used as a baseline for weather-related calculations ...

Has anybody looked into whether or not altitude has a significant impact on the heat dissipation abilities of air cooling techniques? For example, the air density at sea level is 1.2286 kg/m^3, while ...
