As altitude increases, air density decreases. This reduction in air density leads to lower aerodynamic drag on an aircraft, allowing it to achieve a higher stall speed (Vs) at higher altitudes. Therefore, Vs increases with altitude due to the decrease in air density.

What is the speed of sound in us customary?

Speed of sound in air doesn't vary with nationality, but it does vary with altitude/temperature. It's usually around 340 meters/second.


Relationship of Vmc and stall speed?

(I'm sorry for editing this. The answer that was here couldn't have been more wrong. Short answer: Stall speed REMAINS THE SAME with the change of altitude but Vmc DECREASES with an increase in altitude. So at a higher altitude Vmc decreases and can be LOWER than Vs(stall speed) (AFH Figure 12-21) and adversely, as we descend, Vmc increases and can be higher than Vs at a lower altitude.
