Best Answer

It is efficiency of the propelling device in converting the applied torque into useful thrust. In an IDEAL propeller the freestream velocity and the slipstream velocity should be same.

The higher the exhaust/slip stream velocity, higher is the wasted kinetic energy.

Thus turbojet engine has lower propulsive efficiency and turbo-prop engine has higher propulsive efficiency.

What drawback of ion propulsion?

A major limiting factor of ion thrusters is their small thrust, which however is generated at a high propellant efficiency (mass utilisation). The efficiency comes from the high exhaust velocity, which in turn demands a lot of energy, and the performance is ultimately limited by the available spacecraft power.
