Propeller or turboprop aircraft, mostly developed by constructors such as Beechcraft or Pilatus, are the most affordable aeronautical options for short- and medium-haul flights in the aviation industry with 1 to 8 passengers on board, depending on the model, with the advantage of being able to land on many smaller airports inaccessible to jets and airliners in the general aviation industry.

Technical characteristics of turboprops

Propeller or turboprop aircraft are business jets capable of flying at a cruising speed of between 300 and 500 km/h over an average distance of 1,000 to 2,500 km. Chartering a prop plane is a great solution for those wishing to travel to destinations with small airports, inter-regional itineraries and between neighboring countries, or short runways like Courchevel or St-Tropez La Mole, all while avoiding the congestion of air-traffic and benefiting from affordable rates.

Operating costs, including fuel efficiency and maintenance expenses, are significantly optimized with these aircraft. Additionally, the aerodynamic design facilitates efficient take-off and combustion processes with the integration of rotating turbofan engines, airplane propeller, turbine engines, and cutting-edge aircraft engine technologies, under the expertise of skilled mechanics, enhances the efficiency and performance of these versatile aircraft, offering travelers a dependable and cost-effective mode of transportation.

What is a turboprop plane ?

A turboprop plane is one of the many types of aircraft. It uses a gas turbine engine to turn a propeller, which generates thrust and propels the airplane through the air. Unlike a jet engine, which produces thrust through the high-velocity exhaust of hot gases, a turboprop engine uses a combination of a gas turbine engine and a gearbox to transfer power to the propeller.

Turboprop planes are commonly used for short to medium-haul flights and can carry up to around 70 passengers. They are known for their ability to operate from shorter runways than a jet airplane, making them well-suited for regional and remote airports. They are also often used for military applications, such as transport and surveillance.

The main shortcoming of turboprop and twin-turboprop planes is that the noise and vibration caused by turbines are quite disturbing in comparison to those that can be observed in turbojet-engine aircraft. This can also depend on the aircraft’s fuselage.
