Do planes fly better when it is hot, or, cold outside?
Seems to me it would be better when the air is cool due to the density.
Just wondering..

When the airplane is underpowered it'll fly better when the day is cold. When powerful enough or overpowered, it won't matter.

Engine power changes more and has more effect than "aero power".
