Best Answer

A turboprop engine is basically a turbojet, but with a propeller connected to the shaft. Air flows in the engine, is compressed by the compressor blades, and is ignited in the combustion chamber. the resulting jet of hot gas turns the turbine blades and shoots out the exhausts. A gearbox and propeller is connected to the central shaft. The turbine and compressor blades are connected to the central shaft. When the turbine blades turn, they turn the shaft, turning the compressor and the propeller. Most of a turboprop's power comes from the propeller.
