How does a PT6 engine work?
There are three parts to the PT6 engine. First is the compressor section. It's like any other turbine engine. Next is the "free power turbine." You have seen the little pinwheels kids like--you blow on them and they spin. Well, this is a pinwheel for grown-ups: there's a fan on the end of the compressor section's shaft. It blows air against a second turbine that's attached to the next section, which is the gearbox. When the second turbine spins... the gears and shafts in the gearbox turn and make the engine's propeller rotate. The PT6 is an unusual engine in that it's "in backwards"--the intake end of the engine, which in most engines points toward the nose of the plane, points toward the tail on a plane with a PT6 in it. PT6 engines are very versatile and have been used for a lot of things. Someone even tried running a locomotive on one--it worked fine but railroad mechanics would need to be retrained to work on jet engines, so the experiment never got past the trial stage.
How a helicopter engine works?
In a very similar way to ordinary aero engine. There are internal combustion engines which work on the induction, compression, power and exhaust system, linked through a gearbox to a shaft which drives the prop. Or the jet version which works by hot gases turning a turbine, which has a shaft running through the middle, again linked through a gearbox to a shaft which drives the prop. This is called a turboprop.
What engine operates using a three sided metal rotor instead of the traditional piston and cylinder arrangement?
The three sided rotary engine is a Wankel engine. The engines were used in Mazda cars, as well as some Norton motorcycles.

How much did Titanic propller?
Titanic had three propellers. In the absence of solid proof, historians like Mark Chirnside feel that all three propellers had three blades. Steam engines drove her wing propellers and a steam turbine drove her central propeller. The turbine engine was not reversible although the steam engines were.

What are the three plane of projection?
I am assuming that you are in a three dimensional world. Then the three planes of projection would be the xy plane, the xz plane, and the yz plane.
