Resumen de Return of the propeller.
The article discusses research into turboprops being driven by a demand for shorter, cheaper airplane flights. Topics include a brief historical overview of the debut of propeller-driven aircraft, the fuel efficiency of turboprops, compared to turbofans, and engineers at General Electric Aviation's Dowty Propellers, who are using computational fluid dynamics software to explore the interactive effects among the propeller, engine nacelle and aircraft wing to create a better turboprop.
