Linked from

The 15 pages that link to Turboprop, each with the reason it gives.

• TurbofanCompared with: It moves more air at lower speed than a turbofan, favoring slower aircraft.

• Jet engineCompared with: It favors propeller efficiency at lower aircraft speeds rather than a high-speed exhaust jet.

• TurbojetCompared with: It extracts more turbine power for a propeller rather than a high-speed exhaust jet.

• Aircraft engineBroader topic: Most of its thrust comes from the propeller, with a smaller contribution from exhaust.

• Jet AgeCompared with: Turboprops retained efficiency on shorter routes where jet speed offered less advantage.

• PropellerRelated: It pairs a propeller with a turbine engine for efficient flight at moderate speeds.

• Jet aircraftCompared with: Turboprops are generally more efficient than jets at lower speeds and shorter routes.

• Radial engineCompared with: It retains propeller propulsion while replacing reciprocating cylinders with a turbine.

• TurboshaftCompared with: It also converts turbine power into shaft work, but uses a propeller for propulsion.

• Lockheed C-130 HerculesNarrower topic: Four turboprop engines provide the Hercules's thrust while retaining propeller efficiency at moderate speeds.

• Lockheed ConstellationCompared with: Turboprops later offered airline operators a different route to high-speed propeller flight.

• De Havilland Canada Dash 8Narrower topic: The Dash 8’s engines use propellers to deliver efficient thrust at regional-airliner speeds.

• FADECBroader topic: FADEC coordinates engine power with propeller-related operating requirements.

• Gas-turbine engineBroader topic: It converts turbine power into propeller thrust, especially efficiently at lower flight speeds.

• History of the internal combustion engineCompared with: It shows how gas turbines took over many aircraft roles once filled by piston engines.
