- A type of gas turbine aircraft engine that drives and obtains essentially all thrust from an external (typically unducted) propeller
- An aircraft having a jet engine in which the energy of the jet operates a turbine that drives the propeller.
- Propeller-driven regional aircraft. Aircraft of this type include Saab 340, Beech 1900, ATR42, ATR72, and British Aerospace ATP.
- Gas turbine engine in which maximum energy is taken from the turbine to drive a reduction gear and conventional propeller.
- 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.
