Turboprop Aircraft
Turboprop aircraft are smaller than Light Jets and other traditional aircraft and can carry between 5 to 68 passengers. One of the lightest aircraft combining the use of twin propellers and turbine engines, they are ideal for short to mid range flights, Turboprops offer greater fuel efficiency so they work out to be less expensive than other aircraft. Turboprop cabins can be easily changed from passenger to cargo configurations inside 30 minutes proving their size is not a hindrance on their versatility. However no lavatories, stand-up room or flight attendants are available for passengers.

These aircraft are becoming more popular due to their flexibility and low fuel costs; they can also fly in and out of small airports and airfields with rough runways that cannot be accessibly by larger aircraft. The propellers are able to reverse pitch that enables the aircraft to slow down so they can land on runway lengths between 2,000 and 2,400ft. With their adaptability to many environments, turboprops are perfect for a wide range of missions including standard, cargo, executive, amphibious and Arctic environments. Turboprops fall into two categories, executive turboprops and commuter turboprops. On average Turboprops have the capacity to transport groups of up to 8 passengers over a thousand miles.

There are many types of Turboprop Aircraft available most of them are equipped by Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-xx turboprop engines with range of horse power hp that permit speeds up to 466 km/h with a maximum altitude of 30,000ft. Carrying passengers and or Cargo.
