YES. Turbo propeller aircraft are state of the art and are an average seven years younger than the jet aircraft of major airlines. Jet engines power all regional aircraft, whether a turboprop with propellers on the outside, or a turbofan with a fan inside the engine casing. Turbo props are the most economically efficient aircraft for flying shorter distances.
