Piperboy, I think someone just did. (See Holy Moley, above.)
As to wing performance, I'm not sure what performance parameters you have in mind. You may need the help of an aerodynamicist; I would guess, if asked to, that if every variable apart from air density is held constant, the greater the density the greater the lift generated by a wing would be, but what do I know.
I started to list all the other variables that need to be constant; AoA, airspeed, temperature, etc etc, but gave up.
Do gliders have a lower rate of descent in dry, therefore denser air? I think Council Van is saying they do, unless he's talking only about engine thrust in powered aircraft. I wouldn't know; the only gliders I've flown (T21, Swallow, ancient Blanik L-13) went downhill fast in any conditions......
