Working principles of internal combustion engine; power produced depends primarily on quantity of fuel burned; decrease in air density, due to altitude, diminishes power; supercharger is specially designed compressor that precompresses rarified air and supplies required amount of air to each cylinder during suction stroke; air may be at sea level density, or more, or less; thermodynamic discussion; general conclusions on effect of supercharging on engine horsepower and performance of airplane.
