Deleted The world's first turboprop engine that went into mass production specify was designed by a German engineer, Max Adolf Müller, in 1942. [1] "World's first" claims are always popular. This statement only brings up questions while at the same time actually tells us nothing. Perhaps it's not verbatim from the source. Dart production engine deliveries began in mid-1952, so it has to be before that. It's probably referring to a Russian engine although I can't find Max Adolf Müller mentioned in any lists of German help in Russian turboprop developments. One source says the Kuznetsov TV-2 went into series production 1950/1 but it had to be twinned for the NK-12 before it was OK and that was sometime after 1952.

the Rolls-Royce Dart ... was the first turboprop engine to be taken through to production. You were right to delete the poorly sourced statement not even linking to the quoted engine (which should be notable enough to have its own article!).-- Marc Lacoste ( talk) 19:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Can we say what fuel turboprop airplanes use? I am suspecting Jet-A since airports already have it around, but it would be nice to say. Gah4 ( talk) 21:00, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Insist on distinguishing between "turboprop aircraft" (an aircraft equipped with turbine-propeller engine(s)) and "turboprop engine". Link to my edit is here: [ [1]]
p.s. it may also be wise to have actual page for "turbine-propeller engine" (and\or a link from Turbine\Aviation turbines) and then having this page ("Turboprop") describing different word usage to link to (or redirect to) "turbine-propeller engine". This page would summarize the development of turbine propeller engines, whereas "Turboprop aircraft" would do so for aircraft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M8sterMind ( talk • contribs) 15:50, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Can we add the TSFC (eg 0.280 kg/kWh) as a column to the ‘current engines’ table, please? 20040302 ( talk) 11:23, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
That would be neat to have a clip of. 208.98.223.19 ( talk) 16:26, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
