Turboprop Engine

A turboprop engine is a type of aircraft engine that uses a gas turbine to drive a propeller. The gas turbine produces the power to turn the propeller, which generates the thrust that propels the aircraft forward. Turboprop engines are commonly used in small to medium-sized aircraft, such as regional airliners, business jets, and military transport planes. They are known for their fuel efficiency, reliability, and ability to operate from short runways. Turboprop engines are also quieter than jet engines, making them a popular choice for aircraft that operate in noise-sensitive areas.
