Difference between a Turboprop vs Jet Engine?

183 views

Why aren’t low budget airlines, for example Ryanair using turboprop in short haul flights from Dublin to Liverpool (Just an example, it’s about 200km) not using Turboprop but optin in using a Boeing 737?

A jet engine uses hot exhaust gases to spin a turbine. The turbine is connected to the compressor which sucks in air and squeezes it into a small space. This causes the air to heat up and start expanding. The expanding air pushes on the blades of the turbine and makes it spin.
