11. What is a Turboprop Engine?
Turboprop is a word derived after combining the words “turbine” and “propeller”. A turboprop engine is a gas turbine engine that provides power to the propeller. It is usually seen in aircraft. It works in the same way as a turbojet to manufacture energy by incorporating a combustor, compressor, and turbine within the gas generator. It converts the bulk of its thrust into rotational energy. These engines are significant for safe and efficient regional travel.
