What type of fuel does a turboprop engine use?

A turboprop engine typically uses aviation turbine fuel, which is a type of kerosene-based fuel similar to jet fuel. It is specifically formulated for use in gas turbine engines, including turboprop engines, and meets specific quality and performance standards for aviation use. Aviation turbine fuel is highly refined and free of impurities to ensure reliable and efficient operation of turboprop engines. It provides the necessary energy and combustion properties to generate the required thrust for aircraft propulsion.
