My first engine while working for Walrus Airplane Co! The propfan engine is powered by a gas generator and gets most of its thrust from the props instead of the exhaust. It differs from a turboprop though, by having highly swept blades which allow them to function at speeds of around mach 0.8. Enjoy!!
