Eastern airways fleet has a mixed Jetstream & Saab fleet. All of the
aircraft in the flight brochure had propellors. The Jetstreams which are
older
aircraft are described as turbo props which is the recognised term for a gas
turbine driving a prop. The Saab is described as a jet prop but looks to be a
gas turbine driving a prop. So why the different name?
I do know what a prop-fan is and a bypass and a fan but jet prop is a new
one.
You'd think Cap'n Bob would have been all over this thread by now!
