Why do many transport planes still use propeller engines rather than jet engines?

Propeller engine, also called turboprop, is a members of the jet family. Each aircraft has a unique mission and therefore a unique propulsion requirement. Transport plane carries cargo a long distance, but it does not have the high speed requirement. So transport plane use propeller.

What is a jet aircraft?
An aircraft propelled by jet engines rather than piston engines.
What emissions are primarily a problem with diesel engines rather than gasoline engines?
The emission of particles.
How is the transport system of a plant differ to a frog?
The frog differ to a plant by the automotive transport system rather than is the public locomotive transport system.
How do fighter jets fly?
The fly on the same principle as any aircraft the difference being they are propelled by jet rather than propeller.
Public transport should not be free?
with its free then we have to pay more tax. i would rather to pay for public transport
What does SS on nonmilitary vessels stand for?

What is the difference between the two main types of transport?
Walking is a main type of transport, which is rather different from flying in an aeroplane to a distant country.
What is the difference between engine and NAUTICAL engine?
MARINE engines are designed to fit into boats and ships for propulsion units. They often drive a crank shaft, or in the case of turbine are connected to a reduction gear, which is coupled to the propeller shaft. Marine engines (piston) are often mounted vertically rather than horizontal to save space. Marine turbines are often smaller for the same horsepower output, and operate at higher speeds than power plant turbines to produce that horsepower.
Why is a 2 stroke diesel engine used for marine propulsion engines rather than 4 stroke engines?
because iring nag gakos ( cats are embracing)
What is the fastest round the world flight?
The fastest round the world flights will probably be the ones with BA/Qantas as they only have a touchdown in Singapore rather than a change of planes. Then a change of planes in LAX.
How does brainboost differ from the information on other search engines?
It has a variate of answers and solutions that you could look into! While other search engines only show you what they find on theirs rather than all thee search engines together.
Why do airplanes not go into space?
The wings of an aeroplane use the air to hold up the plane. The Earth's atmosphere does not extend into space, it ends about 200 miles up. Planes cannot function without air. Therefore, space travel is done by means of rockets rather than planes. Jet engines require oxygen to operate. They do not have their own source of the gas like space rockets have. Most are not equipped to handle the cold and pressures (lack of it) found in space.
