Turboprop Engine Principles of Operation:

The Allison 501-D13 turboprop (also called turbo prop or prop-jet) operates through a sophisticated process: Air enters the compressor inlet and is compressed to over 6 times normal atmospheric pressure before being discharged into the combustion chamber. The resulting hot combustion gases pass through two 2-stage turbines. The turbine receives power from these gases and drives the compressor, while remaining energy is extracted by the power turbine which drives the power output shaft. This shaft delivers power to the propeller reduction gearbox, which connects to the propeller. The turboprop engine operates at essentially constant speed, with aircraft power variations achieved by changing propeller blade pitch.
