An auxiliary power unit (APU) control system for an aircraft is disclosed. The APU control system includes an APU, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the APU control system to receive a one or more ambient signals indicative of an air density value and one or more power signals indicative of a specific amount of power generated by the APU. The APU control system is further caused to determine a variable rotational speed of the APU based on the air density value and instruct the APU to operate at the variable rotational speed. The APU continues to generate the specific amount of power when operating at the variable rotational speed.
