Multi-Engine Turboprop
A Multi-Engine Turboprop is an aircraft powered by two or more turboprop engines. These engines combine a gas turbine engine with a propeller, providing efficient performance for regional and short-haul flights. The design allows for better fuel efficiency and shorter takeoff distances compared to pure jet engines, making them ideal for smaller airports.
These aircraft are commonly used for passenger transport, cargo, and military applications. Examples include the Beechcraft 1900 and the ATR 72. The multi-engine configuration enhances safety, as the aircraft can still operate if one engine fails, providing greater reliability during flight.
