Either that, or the term "Jet Prop" used loosely,
means Jet Propelled, (as opposed to IC) and not
Jet Propeller.
What a difference a single letter makes!

W E S L A K E ,
Think about it a little bit more... A turbocharger
is called that because it
has a turbine inside there that is turned by the
exhaust gas. A turboprop is
called that because it has a propeller which is
turned by, guess what? Yup,
a turbine. It is a perfectly accurate term.
