Are Turboprop Airplanes Safe?
Usually, after an incident, or accident there's normally a period were you see an increase in anxiety with people who have a fear of flying. The news media doesn't help when they give over-sensational news coverage about an accident. For example, I was astonish on how one news outlet described with such graphic details on what the passengers on a recent accident experienced. I immediately started to think about some graphic terrible car accidents I seen in my life time, & how they seemed to never make the news.
Turboprop airplane technology is old, & been around since the jet age. Turboprop airplanes use engines that are gas turbine to drive a propeller. Turboprop airplanes are slightly different from other propeller airplanes because the components of the turboprop engines are the same as a jet engine. In fact, if you look up the definition of the words turbo, & turbine your notice that they are defined almost the same. Even some of the engine instruments in turboprop cockpits are similar to that of jet airplanes. The only big difference between jet aircraft, & turboprops are jets have swept wings to reduce drag & because of the increase speeds jet fly at. Turboprops have a lot more drag because of the propellers, & the wings are usually more rectangular shape, & tapered. Turboprops are much more slower then jets with an average speed of 250-300 knots.
One of the reasons why turboprops are popular with some airlines is that they are cheaper to operate because they burn less fuel. With the record high fuel prices we seen in the past, many airlines decided to get rid of their regional jets, and replace them with some turboprops. There is one major factor about turboprops that concern many people. For many years turboprops had received bad publicity about their handling of in flight icing conditions. Virtually every turboprop is approved to fly in icing conditions. Some turboprops handle icing conditions better then others. But, make no mistake about it that icing is a danger to all aircraft rather its a turboprop, or jet. Jets handle icing conditions a little easier because they produce more power, & uses heat to instantly melt off any ice on the wings.
Turboprops normally uses rubber boots on the wings that looks like large black tape. Pneumatic air then blows into the boots to inflate it just like a balloon. This inflated boot then cracks off any ice on the leading edge of the wing. Too much ice build up on the wing can disrupt the smooth airflow over the wing. If this happened, it can cause an airplane to lose speed, & stall. To show a perfect example of ice build up on the wing, just stick your hand out of a moving car window. Once your hand is horizontal to the ground, you can feel the smooth airflow over your hand. However, if you tilt your hand at a angle then your will feel the disruption of the smooth airflow. This is the same affect of icing on a wing.
However, turboprop airplanes are just as safe as jets. Turboprop airplane pilots require greater understanding of their aircraft's limitations, awareness, & industry safety practices. I had many fun safe years flying a turboprop before I moved on to jets. Like any other airplane, turboprops can be flown just as safely as jets. However, the best safety device in any airplane is still a well trained pilot with the knowledge to operate their airplane safely.

What is the name of the jet airplane racing that was announced a couple of years ago?
It was on the news, it was like time trial jet rocket planes that would be broadcasted with augmented reality/
There is a jet class at the Reno National Air Races. I have not heard of any other jet racing.
