The Antanov 26 (Russian F27) has a turbo jet mounted at the rear of one of it's engines ,which is used as an APU and for additional thrust on take off.It can even taxi with it ! Interesting to watch them moving around with both props stationary.However it is extreamly noisy ,worse than a non hush kitted F28.
