3:1 TurboProp Engines:
A turboprop is a variation of a Jet Engine which has been optimised to drive a propeller instead of a Fan blade. Aircraft’s that are fitted with a TurboProp engine are very efficient at lower airspeeds, Burn less fuel per Nautical Mile an requirer shorter distances for take off and landings. Common among many small charter airlines and freight companies is the use of turboprop engines rather than turbine or turbofan engines mainly due to the reduced costs associated with running the engines. The reduction in costs and greater ability to maintain turboprop engines, allows small airlines to offset the reduction in cruising speed and performance making them the most appropriate choice for operations.

His idea was driven by the need for Britain to gain air superiority against the rising Luftwaffe but also as a way to to mark their presence as a force in Europe.
The jet engine overtime become more appealing and more commonly used for military aviation. Jet engines were able to provide the best performance in terms of speed and altitude but also enabled nations to gain air superiority in regions. Jet powered aircrafts were able to out speed and manoeuvre any other aircraft which the military found appealing to gain superiority. However jet engines were also trialled in civilian aviation through the Concorde which as in use from 1969 until it was decommissioned by all airlines in 2003. The idea behind the Concorde was to cut transatlantic flight times in half as the aircraft was able to reach a staggering Mach 2.04 or 2,179 KP/H ( Technical specs, 2016) however after a number of crashes they were decommissioned due to …show more content…
Aircrafts that are fitted with Jet engines are typically used for high altitude, long distance travel as their performance peaks in conditions unsuitable for any other engine variant. As aircraft climb to higher altitudes the density of the air reduces making propeller driven engines less desirable as their performance drops. Their is a reduction in the amount of air around which means propellers at higher altitudes begin to spin through nothing, not able to produce airflow over the aerofoil. This means that aircrafts climbing to higher altitudes require alternate engines to create the thrust needed to maintain
