The various applications of turboprop and turbofan engines in regional aircraft are explained. Reference is made to the differing performance objectives for these aircraft. It is shown that, in the adaptation of the engine to the aircraft, the climb phase of flight is the most significant factor for engine dimensioning. Areas of development emphasis from the point of view of market requirements are discussed with regard to their impact on design. It is shown that engines of simple design with low mechanical and thermal stressing of components but with high component efficiencies form the ideal basis for regional aircraft propulsion. Furthermore, it is seen that this concept also provides for low procurement and maintenance costs.
