Turboprop aircraft have propellers and travel slower then private jets.

Turboprop Aircraft Information

Popular for short to mid-range flights, Turboprops can access runways that are often too short for Private Jet Aircraft and can even go into dirt fields

Amenities often include: pressurized passenger cabins for added comfort, safety and performance and a semi-private lavatory.

Are Jets safer than Turboprops? One of the most common concerns people have when hopping on an aircraft with propellers is that it lacks the safety of a jet without propellers. Why the fear?

Perhaps the concern is related to the additional noise produced by turboprops.

Turboprops and jets are both built with turbine, or jet, engines. Jets have turbine engines encased with fan blades while turboprops have a propeller on the outside.

This is much different than with piston engines, which also have propellers, but are much different mechanically.

Turbine engines are safer and more reliable than piston engines, which are typically found in smaller aircraft.

Turboprops might be a little louder, but they are actually safer than jets when going into smaller runways.

It is related to the turboprops capabilities under short runway conditions. One of the things we look at when planning a flight is something called balanced field.

When you get up to takeoff speed, if something were to go wrong, how quickly could you stop? In a nutshell, this is what we consider when talking about balanced field.

Turboprops are able to respond and stop much more quickly because the propellers provide extra drag. Thus, the propellers help the aircraft stop when needed.

Piston engines, also known as reciprocating engines, are descendents of steam engines which first appeared in the early 17th century.

In simple terms, steam engines use heat to produce steam pressure, which in turn is used to generate rotating motion.

Steam engines were eventually used to drive everything from mechanical equipment to the first railway trains.

In today’s aircraft piston engines, gas propulsion replaces steam in creating pressure within the engine.

Piston engines are characterized by one or more cylinders, each containing a snugly fitting piston (a solid cylinder) which is able to move freely back and forth within the cylinder.

Turboprop aircraft, which are powered by a close relative of the turbine engine, are another animal entirely.

A turbine – which is simply another word for fan – is exactly that: a rotary driven fan that derives energy from fluid flow or airflow.
