A turboprop engine is a turbine engine that drives an aircraft propeller. In contrast to a turbojet, the engine's exhaust gases do not contain enough energy to create significant thrust, since almost all of the engine's power is used to drive the propeller.The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM, low torque output to low RPM, high torque.
