Wrong. Humid is more dense, just as cold is more dense. Two effects - More dense lets the props grab air better, but it also means more resistance flying through it.
Wrong ???
From Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge:
Water vapor is lighter than air; consequently, moist air is lighter than dry air. Therefore, as the water content of the air increases, the air becomes less dense, increasing density altitude and decreasing performance. |
