- Definição1
- A form of gas turbine engine that uses one or more stages of turbines to drive a set of reduction gears, which in turn drives a propeller. Most of the heat energy in the exhaust gases is converted into torque, rather than into a stream of high-velocity exhaust gases, as is done in a turbojet engine.
