The propeller on a turboprop airplane engine spins to move the aircraft through the air. It acts in a way similar to that of the blade in a fan.

The worlds first Turboprop engine was designed in 1928 by a mechanical engineer named Gyorgy Jendrassik. He patented the engine in 1929 and in 1938 built a small scale prototype.

Most of the aircraft in the US Air Force are not turboprops but jets.

The C-130 is the most prominent turboprop, and they use it because it can fly from undeveloped runways--gravel roads or even grass fields.

A turboprop engine is basically a turbojet, but with a propeller connected to the shaft. Air flows in the engine, is compressed by the compressor blades, and is ignited in the combustion chamber. the resulting jet of hot gas turns the turbine blades and shoots out the exhausts. A gearbox and propeller is connected to the central shaft. The turbine and compressor blades are connected to the central shaft. When the turbine blades turn, they turn the shaft, turning the compressor and the propeller. Most of a turboprop's power comes from the propeller.

When a turboprop plane flies through a cloud layer, it may experience turbulence and reduced visibility. The aircraft's airspeed may also be affected, which can impact its performance. Pilots will rely on onboard instruments and radar systems to navigate safely through the cloud layer.

Turboprop airplanes typically have a maximum speed between 300-400 knots, depending on the specific aircraft model. This speed range is slower than jet-powered airplanes, but turboprops are known for their fuel efficiency and versatility in operating from shorter runways.

A jet is a reference to any aerospace device that uses propulsion of gasesfor motion. So, in general, a turboprop is a kind of a jet, so are the regular jet airliners we usually associate with jets, and also rockets thatcarry their oxygen along with them as they fly into space are also considered jets. So, it woulodbe safe to say that the fastest or the two choices would be a jet.

It's made in France. It's the only turboprop Cessna with two engines. And you really have to work at it to make one crash.

1 answer


A turboprop engine is similar to a jet engine in that both use post-combustion gasses to drive a turbine that operates the compressor used to compress the intake (pre-combustion) gas (air) before it reaches the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and is then burned.

The difference is that a jet engine uses a very small turbine device sufficient to run only the compressor. The remainder of the greatly expanded gasses eject as a high thrust exhaust that forces the airplane forward. The turboprop engine, on the other hand, uses a much larger turbine that not only runs the compressor, but also turns a propeller which pulls the airplane forward.

1 answer


Because the propeller would turn at excessive RPMS if it were coupled directly. If a propeller reaches supersonic speeds, it actually impedes the aircraft.

1 answer


A turboprop aircraft, such as a Cessna, cannot fly as fast as a turbofan aircraft, such as a Boeing. Because of this, lift cannot be maintained at high altitudes. As you go higher, you can go faster because there's less air to slow you down. But if you don't go fast enough, then the plane will stall and keep falling until it reaches an altitude at which lift can be maintained at its current speed.

It usually depends on the make. Higher end props tend to be safer than jets because of all the problems that might occur on sophosticated aircraft, such as Jets.
