    And, the turbocharger pretty much directly addresses the reason the lighter engine loses power. It compresses the air to increase the O2 concentration per unit volume so that it is similar to lower altitudes.

    But it's OK, turbochargers don't enable higher altitudes on piston airplanes...it's the rating and waste gate that enables the higher altitude.

          Sarcasm. It's not turbo and still if you agree to never exceed 75% power and call it 100% (which is what you typically do with the turbos) you can make it work as if it was turbo, in the sense that you can keep the same power from 0 to 7000+ ft.

          (Nice that you found the hidden joke)
