Single-Engine Turboprop
A Single-Engine Turboprop is a type of aircraft powered by a single turbine engine that drives a propeller. This design combines the efficiency of a jet engine with the performance of a propeller, making it suitable for short to medium-haul flights. These aircraft are often used for regional travel, cargo transport, and flight training.
Single-engine turboprops are known for their reliability and lower operating costs compared to multi-engine planes. They typically have a cruising speed of around 200 to 300 knots and can operate from shorter runways, making them versatile for various missions, including those in remote areas.
