To get off the ground an aircraft needs lift. This is caused by differential air pressure above and below the wings. At higher elevations and at higher temperature the air is less dense making lift more difficult. At Denver International Airport on a hot day, where the elevation is greater than 5500 feet, quite often some passengers will have to be removed from the plane and put on a different flight to reduce the takeoff weight. At higher the elevations there is less lift and takeoff is more difficult.

Does the number of people on the plane affect the way it flies Why?
There are four interrelated elements of aircraft performance: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. While the number of people, per se, wouldn't affect the performance of an aircraft, the weight of those people would. --- Also, the position of those people would matter in terms of aircraft performance.
Does fasting affect performance or performance affect fasting?
fasting affect performance
What effect if any does high humidity have on aircraft performance?
It decreases performance.
What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance?
It reduces climb performance.
What can affect climate?
latitude, elevation, anegetation affect climate
What is aircraft performance?
Aircraft performance refers to the capabilities and behavior of an aircraft in flight, including factors such as speed, altitude, rate of climb, range, payload capacity, and maneuverability. It determines how well an aircraft can perform its intended functions and missions. Pilots and engineers analyze aircraft performance to ensure safe and efficient operations.
How does elevation affect settlement patterns?
what is it
Does elevation affect plant growth?
Yes it does.
Does elevation affect the speed?
yep i think
How does topography affect humans?
Topography shows elevation and surface features. It has had an affect on human life because now, with topography, we know where elevation is and how high it is.

Which is the aircraft with the best performance?
Depends on your definition of performance. For speed or economy, either the SR-71 or the Cessna 152.
