Barit1 you are correct about some turbine engines having a restricted RPM range. The RR Dart 529 installation in both the G1 and the Fairchild F-27 had a restricted range of between 6200 and 7200 RPM. I can't remember the reason and I'm too lazy to go look, but I believe it was something to do with the accessory gearbox drive.
