What effect does high density altitude, as compared to low density altitude, have on propeller efficiency and why?

A. Efficiency is increased due to less friction on the propeller blades.

B. Efficiency is reduced because the propeller exerts less force at high density altitudes than at low density altitudes.

C. Efficiency is reduced due to the increased force of the propeller in the thinner air.

Correct! Wrong!

In the less dense, or thinner, air the propeller cannot exert the same force as it does in more dense air. Answer A is incorrect because less friction of air on the rotating propeller blades is a very minor factor. Answer C is incorrect because the efficiency of the propeller is reduced in less dense air, since it is unable to exert as much force as it could in more dense air.
