- Turboprop Engine - NASAThe turboprop uses a gas turbine core to turn a propeller. As mentioned on a previous page, propeller engines develop thrust by moving a large mass of air through a small change in velocity. Propellers are very efficient and can use nearly any kind of engine to turn the prop (including humans!). In the turboprop, a gas turbine core is used.
- Turboprop Thrust - NASAMany low speed transport aircraft and small commuter aircraft use turboprop propulsion. On this page we will discuss some of the fundamentals of turboprop engines. The turboprop uses a gas turbine core to turn a propeller. Propellers develop thrust by moving a large mass of air through a small change in velocity.
- Turboprop - WikipediaA turboprop is a turbine engine that drives an aircraft propeller. [1] A turboprop consists of an intake, reduction gearbox, compressor, combustor, turbine, and a propelling nozzle. [2] . Air enters the intake and is compressed by the compressor. Fuel is then added to the compressed air in the combustor, where the fuel-air mixture then combusts.
- How A Turboprop Engine Works | BoldmethodTurboprop engines combine the reliability of jets, with the efficiency of propeller driven aircraft at low to mid altitudes. Found on anything from a 50+ seat passenger aircraft to a single pilot cropduster, turboprop engines are perfect for safe, efficient regional travel. This is how they work...
