There were also the Unducted Fan* testbeds that were tried a few years back. They must surely, at least loosely, fit the description of turboprop.

GE had one on an MD-80 whilst P&W used a 727 for their 'Propfan'.




*Someone at the time commented, "Unducted fan tells you what it isn't, not what it is."
