Hello again,
After searching high and low I can't find an answer to this. A 400hp turboprop engine and a 400hp piston engine seem to have vastly different props. Why is this? Does a turboprop have a higher output shaft speed? Torque differences? Problems with a fully feathering prop on a piston engine?
400hp piston:

Are they really that different? Comments?
