Turboprop Engines

I really thank you all for the replies. They certainly cleared up a lot of confusion.

Thanks, Avbug, for the lesson. I feel like I have a better understanding of the engines that spin away just outside the cockpit window.

Well, it's late and I'm rambling. If I confused anyone, let me know and I'll try and clarify tommorrow after the Cowboys whip the Dolphins.

I guess there will be no clarifications today...

Yea, It's good that I'm only a fan. If I was connected to the team I'd be ready to throw myself off a cliff. Did the boys stink, or what? Actually, the Fins did a heck of a job. Fiedler kicked behind. Norv Turner outcoached Mike Zimmer, and I'm glad that I ate before the game.

cheers,

I know of no centrifugal only, jet engines. Turboprops are usually combination and the Pratt&Whitney Canada PT6 used by most KingAires is a good example. The Garrett TPE331 is centrifugal only, engine and is mounted on Merlins, Jetstreams, MU2's etc.

I believe that the Marbore engines used in Paris Jets and Fougas are centrifugal only jet engines.
