This article has been dramatically altered. When I last left it the claim was that the turboshaft and turboprop were similar, and differed primarily in historical terms -- that modern turboshaft and turboprop engines are basically identical.

web 84.73.58.149 changed this to state that turboprops are one type of turboshaft, and that a turboshaft is essentially any turbine with a PTO. I have seen this definition as well, but only on recently published statements. I had not seen this definition prior to 1990, or thereabouts.

Now it's possible that I simply never saw the "generalist" use of the term, but currently I simply think it's wrong. I think this is a recent phenominon, one created when someone got fed up trying to define the difference and failing when someone would introduce a new engine that "broke the rule"

there is no mention of fixed turbine versus free turbine. this whole article discusses free turbine only.
