 TP> Hi all,
 TP> What was the first aircraft to fly with Turbo props and what was´i the
 TP> first airliner to have them?
 TP> Thank you.
 CT> The Vickers Viscount was the result of a pre-WWII project that
 CT> began under the aegis of the Barbazon committee.  It emerged in 1948
 CT> as the world's first airliner with Turboprop engines and went on to
 CT> become one of the UK's most successful commercial aircraft.
 Have you seen the Viscount with Jet Engines?
 
 
 CT> That should answer both your questions, Tony.  The Viscount
 CT> was the first AC to fly with Turboprops and the first scheduled
 CT> airliner to utilize them as well.
It surprises me they didn't test these engines before hand on another
airframe to prove the concept.
Anyhow thankkyou your information was valuable.
