A type of engine that uses a jet engine to turn a propeller. Turboprops are often used on regional and business aircraft because of their relative efficiency at speeds slower than, and altitudes lower than, those of a typical jet.
gas turbine similar to turbofan but in which power is geared-down to drive a propeller
Is said of an airplane powered by a type of jet engine, the turboprop, equipped with a turbine-driven propeller.
Gas turbine engine in which exhaust gases are used to turn a propeller.
airplane powered by a turbojet engine
an airplane with an external propeller that is driven by a turbojet engine
a jet engine attached to a propeller
a turbine engine driving a propeller
Gas turbine used to drive an aircraft's propeller
An airplane using a turboprop engine, a jet rather than piston engine connected to a propeller. Such aircraft can be single- or multi-engine. Turboprop engines are increasingly used when more horsepower is needed for speed or payload than the 300-400 horsepower available from current light-aircraft piston engines.
A Turboprop engine is a type of gas turbine engine used in aircraft. Most of a turboprop engine's power is used to drive a propeller, and the propellers used are very similar to the propellors used in piston or reciprocating engine-driven aircraft (with the exception that turboprops usually use a constant velocity propeller).
