DO WHAT?????????? I dont know if I read that right but let me clarify in one easy sentance.....
Turboprops are turbine powered aircraft...THey are propelled forward by a prop which pulls them through the air. This prop is independant of the engine. Jet engines which are also turbine powered use the thrust created to move by forcing air out the back of the engine.
