I'm a big fan of turboprop airliners! It makes me very sad that most regional airlines are phasing them out, and switching to pure jet aircraft. I wish that the mainliners like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A-320 were turboprop instead of pure jet. Some say that driving a vehicle with a manual transmission, "Stickshift", is "Real Driving". I say that flying in a propeller driven airliner is "Real Flying"! I personally love the sound that the props make, the "box fan" sound in high idle and taxiing, and the "bumblebee" sound in takeoff and in flght! "Bumblebee Sound" is my name for the bass hum and vibration, heard inside the cabin of a turboprop airliner. It's true, most turboprop airliners are a quite noisy, but the quietest turboprop I ever flew on was the ATR-42, back in 1992 with American Eagle. My girlfriend has given the ATR the nickname, "The Whisperprop". It's my understanding that the majority of the public doesn't like the turboprops, one reason being because many of them are noisy. To get the public to better accept the turboprops, thicker cabin insulation would be one solution to reduce the noise. Also, it's my understanding that the majority of the public is convinced that the turboprop engine is a turbocharged piston driven propeller engine, when in fact, it's actually a jet engine with a propeller attatched. If you listen to the engine fire up, and run in low idle, you can hear the whine of the jet engine. The word "Turboprop" actually refers to the fact that it's a turbine powered engine, and not a piston engine. To help educate the public that the turboprop engine is indeed a jet propeller engine, they could paint in big letters, "PROP JET" on the sides of the engine cowels.
Jacky Claiborne UNLESS THE NEWER ATR42, is quieter, I flew many times from SAN JUAN PR TO BEEF ISLAND IN BVI,,and I can tell you they were the NOISEST DAMNEDturboprop, I ever flew !, Cheers from NJ
I love the anti-winglets on the horizontal stabilizers of the Beech 1900!

Why do turboprops project so far forward from the wing? It seems like this would produce a huge torquing force on the wing.
it's just not the turbo props but I'm sure it's the way its mounted and help with the cg
Atr my favorite aircraft. Fisrt job i. Avation atr mechanic
