Turboprop#

Contains methods for analyzing and designing turboprop propulsion systems. This module provides a comprehensive set of tools for turboprop engine analysis, combining gas turbine core performance with propeller aerodynamics. The methods handle both design and off-design conditions, supporting complete propulsion system analysis across flight regimes.

The module includes functionality for:

  • Computing thrust and power output

  • Sizing gas turbine core components

  • Evaluating combined engine-propeller performance

  • Analyzing propeller aerodynamic characteristics

  • Designing complete turboprop systems from specifications

  • Computing fuel consumption and efficiency metrics
