Okay guys, does that mean the US Navy's E2C/D Hawkeye would be a real airplane with it's twin turboprop drive? After all, IT DOES HAVE PROPELLERS!!!!!
In fact, the C had a four bladed design that was similar, though larger, to that used on the P-47, P-51 and the F8F Bearcat. The D uses a 6 bladed prop with swept tips for better efficiency
