0 a turbine used as an aircraft engine that provides most force for movement by turning a propeller, or an aircraft driven by this type of engine
For example, 275,000 jumbo jet movements would undoubtedly cause more disturbance than 275,000 small, turboprop aircraft.
It is a 64 to 72-seat advanced turboprop aircraft.
This sort of thing could be harmful in the future to our turboprop aircraft export prospects.
The aircraft has cost about one-third what it would have cost to develop a completely new transporter, either turboprop or jet.
It was quite right to do that before looking into the further possibilities of turboprop and jet aircraft, and that is what has been done.
Of course, those who campaign for modernisation accept that these turboprops are safe and will remain safe for a year or two.
I had no doubt that the jet airliner, as has been the case, would replace the prop and turboprop in time.
I can see no logical reason why one should distinguish between turboprop aircraft and straight jets provided the value of the contract is similar.
