Which efficiency decrease impacts turbofan engines at altitude?

💡 Explanation

A decrease in air density reduces inlet pressure, raising the isentropic temperature ratio, because the Brayton cycle relies on temperature differences for efficiency; therefore efficiency declines rather than mechanical failure increasing compression demands.
