Airplanes obviously employ very different engine technology compared to ground vehicles, but some actually do use a form of transmission in flight.

In 1945, preliminary design began on Allison's first turboprop engines. One was the T40 (Allison Model 500), which consisted of two T38 power sections driving co-axial contrarotating propellers ...

Some engine manufacturers have responded positively to the integrated propeller approach, he says. "Some of them have also provided the first proposal, with the lightweight advanced reduction gearbox.

Rapid prototyping helped an engineer confirm his design of an advanced turboprop, which blended elements of a 40s jet engine, a modern gearbox, and contrarotating propellers.

Engine makers face more questions than answers as they plot future turboprop hybrid-electric evolution strategy.

At P&WC, we are developing regional turboprop technologies that change how the world flies… and how it breathes. Every improvement to our engines’ fuel efficiency means a reduction in CO2 ...
