Which of the following is NOT listed as a factor affecting lift capacity?

Explanation:
Lift capacity depends on the air density around the rotor. Air density is determined mainly by altitude and temperature—higher altitude or higher temperature lowers density and reduces lift. Wind also affects rotor performance and how lift is produced. In this context, pressure isn’t listed as a separate factor because its effect on density is already captured by how density changes with altitude and temperature under the standard atmosphere. So pressure is the factor not listed.
