While interest in advanced turboprop aircraft waned after introduction of the turbojet, turboprop production and research continued. Today, the capability to do the turboprop propulsion job is better than ever before. This capability is being applied as turboprop interests rise to new levels. Two specific new turboprop efforts have been initiated in the 1970's. Specifically, they are the commuter turboprop and the high speed turboprop, or Prop-Fan. Commuter turboprop technologies will be discussed along with technical progress being made in the Prop-Fan program. Turboprop configuration trends will be discussed covering the conventional 0.4-0.5 Mach speed range, the high speed Pro-Fan range of 0.7-0.8 Mach, and the in between 0.6-0.7 Mach range.
