 The above discussion was all about the theory behind speed density operation based solely on air properties by themselves. ​ But the reality is that air temperature is also affected by engine temperature. ​ As air is entering the engine, it's heated by the temperature of the engine itself. ​ This effect is more pronounced with slower moving air (idle/​cruise) and gradually reduces in impact as airflow rate increases. The above discussion was all about the theory behind speed density operation based solely on air properties by themselves. ​ But the reality is that air temperature is also affected by engine temperature. ​ As air is entering the engine, it's heated by the temperature of the engine itself. ​ This effect is more pronounced with slower moving air (idle/​cruise) and gradually reduces in impact as airflow rate increases.
