Turboprops
These airplanes use a gas turbine (jet) engine, coupled through a transmission, to drive the blades of a conventional propeller.

TURBOPROP An airplane using a turboprop engine, a jet rather than piston engine connected to a propeller. Such aircraft can be single- or multi-engine.
Turboprop - An aircraft powered by a jet turbine engine that drives a propeller. Aircraft of this type are typically used by airlines on short routes between two relatively close locations.
Turboprop Aircraft
An aircraft in which thrust is produced primarily by a propeller. The engine's main components are an inlet, a compressor, a combustion chamber, a turbine, and a nozzle.
Turboprop
A type of engine that uses a jet engine to turn a propeller. Turboprops are often used on regional and business aircraft because of their relative efficiency at speeds slower than, and altitudes lower than, those of a typical jet.
Turboprops are the most efficient at flight speeds off 400 knots and below due to the jet velocity of the propeller (and exhaust) being relatively low.
TURBOPROP AIRCRAFT
An aircraft having a jet engine in which the energy of the jet operates a turbine which drives the propeller.
TURBULENCE MODE
Flight control system mode in which a "softer" response to gust upsets is programmed.
Turboprop aircraft are a halfway point between propeller and jet: they use a turbine engine similar to a jet to turn propellers. These aircraft are popular with commuter and regional airlines, as they tend to be more economical on shorter journeys.
TURBOPROP - Gas turbine engine in which maximum energy is taken from the turbine to drive a reduction gear and conventional propeller.

TURBOPROP An aircraft in which the propeller is driven by a jet-style turbine rather than a piston.
Other economy measures involved using current production turboprop engines and nacelles from Vickers Viscounts, and making the twin booms out of sections of Gloster Meteor fuselage, ...
When New Piper first took the wraps off its Meridian, they set some rather lofty performance goals for their first single-engine turboprop. They needed to.
Turbofans Most modern airliners are powered by highly efficient turbofan engines.
Turboprops Many small commuter airliners use highly efficient turboprop engines. The turboprop uses a gas turbine engine to turn a propeller.
flat rating - throttling or other restriction of engine power output (usually in turboprops and turboshafts) at sea level to enable it to give constant predictable power at higher operating altitudes.
FLG - flashing. ...
Propeller: A device commonly used to convert the power of an aircraft piston or turboprop engine into propulsive force; each blade is essentially a rotating wing, twisted and varying in section from root to tip to achieve maximum efficiency, ...
SUPT- Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training. This pilot training pipeline has a track select after phase 2 - phase 3 is divided among fighter/bombers, heavies, turboprops, and helos.

A propeller whose blades have been rotated so that the leading and trailing edges are nearly parallel with the aircraft flight path to stop or minimize drag and engine rotation. Normally used to indicate shutdown of a reciprocating or turboprop ...
provided at the major airports.
AVGAS: Aviation Gasoline. Usually followed by the octane rating. Used by piston-engined aircraft.
AVTUR: Aviation Turbine fuel (kerosene). Used by turboprops and jet aircraft.
