A turboprop aircraft is a great choice for the economically focused private traveler. With similar size and luxury as any light jet, a turboprop aircraft is a great choice for a short business trip, weekend getaway, or family vacation.
The turboprop engine utilizes a reduction gear rather than a jet engine, burning an estimated two-thirds the fuel a similarly sized jet will utilize. While the turboprop is not the smallest private aircraft, when compared to the typical ‘Very Light Jet’, they are comparable in size to most light jets.
