The turboshaft engine receives its name from the fact that this rotation is used to turn a shaft of some kind.
Turboshafts are also used in ships and boats where the rotating shaft turns the vehicle's propeller.
In fact, a turboshaft is defined as any type of gas turbine engine that turns a shaft connected to something other than an aircraft propeller.

As of 1996 Jakadofsky has been producing smaller jet engines for R/C models and in 2000 they developed a turboshaft version that integrates a small gearbox inside the engine.
The integrated direct drive gear box is extremely reliable and maintenance free and does not rely on questionable belts in the transmission of power to the helicopter.
The turboshaft design reduces the engines output to 16,600 RPM at the clutchbell which correlates perfectly with our model helicopter drive-train design.

The availability of lightweight turboshaft engines in the second half of the 20th century led to the development of larger, faster, and higher performance helicopters.
Turboshaft engines are the preferred powerplant for all but the smallest and least expensive helicopters today.
In conventional aircraft, the wing profile (called airfoil) is designed to deflect air efficiently downward.

 Boeing 502-6 Turboshaft Gas Turbine Jet Engine
This site will feature my 502-6 along with information specific to the Boeing 502-6 turboshaft engine.
Note:I have since sold my engine, however, will continue to maintain this site for others to use, and to answer all emails I receive.
Background: The Boeing 502-6 turboshaft engine was originally part of a turbine-generator unit, designed to furnish electrical power for magnetic minesweeping, and was supplied to the U.S. Navy for installation aboard 57-foot wood hull minesweeping boats.

Another class of heat engine in common use is the "turbine" engine.
most common application of the turbine engine is in aircraft propulsion, in the form of "turbojet", "turbofan", and "turboshaft" engines, but it is also used to propel ships and to provide electrical power generation.
Turbine engines are generally known as "Brayton cycle" engines.
