A turboprop engine is a type of turbine or jet engine that delivers power by turning a propeller rather than the thrust of its exhaust. Turboprop engines are lighter, and more economical than traditional piston engines of equivalent power. It is for this reason that many piston-engined aircraft have been refitted with turboprop engines.
