Also the type of aircraft you have as result of a prop-jet engine or a jet engine is v. different in capability.

A jet engined aircraft will commonly be fast, low wing and need to be kept on a big airport.

Prop-jet aircraft have unreal short field capability because of 'beta' (reverse) the Cessna caravan is a good example of this.

Either of the two far exceed a piston....there is no equivalent yo will never look back after having a turbo-prop aircraft.
