can we get a turboprop aircraft thread going?
Jetfags stay out.

As you wish, bourgeoisie pig.
>>30278752
Do any countries besides North Korea use non-bomber propeller planes in Combat situations.
>>30279843
Well, there's the argies and their Pucara, but even that is undergoing moderization at this point.
>>30278752
>>30279843
Uh yes. A lot of third world countries do.
Nearby Philippines drop bombs on Muslim rebs via Italian Trainers and Broncos.
>>30279843
like the c-130?

Guy said combat, but
>>30280617
is a damn good example.
>>30279843
USMC is using the Bronco in Iraq.

Turboprop?
>>30278752
Turboprops are jet engines genuis

No shit, retard.

>[type of jet engine] thread, [jet engines not allowed]
What's the difference between a turboprop and a normal plane like the P51
>>30282520
P-51 uses a reciprocating engine like the one in your car. Turboprops use a turbine like you find a jet to turn a propeller.
>>30282237
i know, when I say jetfags I mean jet DRIVEN aircraft, not jet driven propeler aircraft
>>30281611
>>30281114
Nope, that there be an flat 6 Lycoming or Continental internal combustion engine.
Somebody done fucked up.
>>30282585
regular propeler aircraft are fine too
>>30282569
Whats the point?
If you have a jet engine why not just use it like a jet engine ?
What do the propellers do?
>>30282813
>What do the propellers do?
Move air for thrust, the turbine is to move the prop, it doesn't provide thrust itself.
>>30282896
I meant what do propellers do better than a normal jet engine
>>30283344
More fuel efficient which translates into lower cost of operation. That's about it.
