5 Turbine Powered Planes That Fly At Jet Speed

Having a private jet is expensive. Not so much on the purchase side, but the cost to fly and operate one is very expensive. Even with the introduction of light jets, operators are still spending north of $1000 per hour to operate these smaller jets.

The value preposition of Turboprop aircrafts makes more sense on the cost savings. A turboprop aircraft is propeller driven, but also uses a single jet engine. And in many scenarios, these aircraft can perform just as well as light jets in their climb rate and cruise speeds. Turboprops also tend to have better capabilities than small list jets. The best part is you get it all at a fraction of the operating cost. In this video we check out 5 of the best turboprops you can buy in place of a jet.
