Twinturboprops
Twinturboprops, also known as twin-engine turboprop aircraft, are a type of aircraft powered by two turboprop engines. These engines are characterized by a gas turbine that drives a propeller, offering a balance of speed and fuel efficiency. Twinturboprops are commonly used for regional airline services, cargo transport, and general aviation due to their ability to operate from shorter runways compared to jet aircraft.
The turboprop engine's design allows for high torque at lower altitudes and speeds, making them ideal for
The development of twinturboprops began in the mid-20th century, evolving from earlier piston-engine designs. Notable examples
