A jet is a reference to any aerospace device that uses propulsion of gasesfor motion. So, in general, a turboprop is a kind of a jet, so are the regular jet airliners we usually associate with jets, and also rockets thatcarry their oxygen along with them as they fly into space are also considered jets. So, it woulodbe safe to say that the fastest or the two choices would be a jet.

How does the jet on a jet plane makes the plane move?
The exhaust gases from combustion create thrust which pushed the plane in the other direction
A 700 watt gasoline engine and a 300 watt electric motor both do 3 joules of workwhich machine does work faster?
Power, measured in watts, is defined as the rate at which work is done. Therefore, the greater the power of an engine, the faster it does work. Therefore a 700 W engine always does work faster than a 300 W engine.
How much faster is a plane than a car?
Depends on which 'small' planes you are talking about! Generally light/small aircraft are operated with a piston engine(s) similar to the ones you will find in your car. As they are still fairly fast, an airline aircraft is much more quicker due to its jet engines. Furthermore, military combat aircraft are MUCH MUCH MORE faster than airline aircraft simply because of their lightweight and GI-NORMOUS thrust their jet engines produce. When you see them doing loops etc. they're throwing aerodynamics out the window and letting their over-powered engines do the work! Hope this helped.
Why was the jet plane invented?
The jet plane was invented for easier and faster transportation. This plane was also invented and created for military purposes.
What high altitude winds that occur in places where trade winds and polar easterlies meet prevailing westerlies?
The "Jet Stream".
What type of fuel does a turboprop engine use?
jet fuel
What are the types of stator?
the types of statore are compressor, gas turbine, turboprop, and jet engine
What propels an airplane or ship?
A ship is propelled by wind or a propeller, and an airplane is propelled by a jet engine, propeller or turboprop.
What type of fuel is used for a turboprop engine?
Jet fuel--Jet A in the civilian world, usually JP-8 in the military. You can also put JP-4 or JP-5 in one.
What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?
That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.
What inventions were invented in 1937?
Spam, the modern day shopping cart, the first ever walkie-talkie, Turboprop engine, Jet engine, O-ring.
What kind of airplane will seat twenty people?
Business jet, turboprop.
What is the definition of turboprop engine cycle?
A turboprop engine is similar to a jet engine in that both use post-combustion gasses to drive a turbine that operates the compressor used to compress the intake (pre-combustion) gas (air) before it reaches the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and is then burned. The difference is that a jet engine uses a very small turbine device sufficient to run only the compressor. The remainder of the greatly expanded gasses eject as a high thrust exhaust that forces the airplane forward. The turboprop engine, on the other hand, uses a much larger turbine that not only runs the compressor, but also turns a propeller which pulls the airplane forward.
What does a turboprop do?
Answer:The combination of the words turbine and propeller in techno jargon will give you the word "turboprop". A turboprop engine is a turbojet (gas turbine) engine, which powers the propeller/s. A conventional jet engine produces its thrust in large part due to the heated gasses escaping out the rear of the engine. While this is very useful for aircraft which fly at high speeds and high altitudes, it is less desirable for aircraft which are designed to fly at slower speeds and take off from smaller runways.A turboprop engine is a jet engine which converts the bulk of its thrust into rotational energy for powering a propeller. This allows jet engines, which are a high-rpm low-torque engine to be used in situations where low-rpm and high-torque are needed instead.The higher reliability and efficiency of a jet or turboprop engine as compared to an internal combustion engine makes them very desirable for aircraft designs which, in the past, would have utilized internal combustion engines.Answer 2A turboprop is a jet engine with a propellor attached - a jet engine is a turbine (fan) that compresses a large volume of air for combustion in a chamber as a opposed to a piston - a turbo charger on steroids - the propellor is attached to the central shaft of the fan blades - the two exhaust tubes on either side of the front of the turboprop are for the jet exhaust and it actually can add to the speed of the aircraft - the jet engine is usually backwards on a turboprop, the air intake under the engine is sent to the back which is really the front of the jet turbine, compressed by the fan blades (which drive the propellor) then sent to the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and ignited - then exits through the exhaust tubes which bend to point backwards adding to the total thrust of the engine Often the word turboprop is confused with turbo charged which is a regular piston engine that uses a turbo charger (air compressor) - the P-38 lightning twin boom fighter of WW2 is a great example of a turbocharged engine and once you hear the sound the turbo chargers make you never forget itTurbo prop engines address a need for a compromise between propellor and jet engines - propellors are efficient at slow speeds to about 350 mph (meaning the amount of fuel used for speed and range) and dont have as much power as a jet - jets are effecient from about 300mph up and are more powerful than a piston engine but use more fuel - a turbo prop has nearly the power of a jet without as much fuel use and fills the gap for a mid range speed of about 200 to 400 mph - rarely see turboprops on low speed aircraft because of the extra fuel use with exception of some STOL bush style aircraft like the cessna caravan and the new quest kodiak that need the extra power for short/rough field useAlso turbo props can reverse thrust like a jet engine but do so usually by changing the angle of the propellor blades - another big advantage over piston engines for short runways - also turboprops use jet fuel since they are jet engines so they are being used more frequently in countries outside USA where avgas is becoming hard to find (not much general aviation aircraft but lots of jet airliners in many countries)A big advantage to using turboprops is how long they can be flown before a complete overhaul - the time can vary a lot by engine but an average time for a piston engine is about 1800 to 2000 hours and a turbo prop about 3000 to 3600 hours - so you can fly a turboprop a whole lot longer between major overhauls.
What does a propeller do on a turboprop airplane engine?
The propeller on a turboprop airplane engine spins to move the aircraft through the air. It acts in a way similar to that of the blade in a fan.
When was the Turboprop engine developed?
The worlds first Turboprop engine was designed in 1928 by a mechanical engineer named Gyorgy Jendrassik. He patented the engine in 1929 and in 1938 built a small scale prototype.
What are three major types of jet engines?
Turbojet, turbofan and turboprop. Also, turboshaft and ramjet.
