What are the differences between jets and propeller driven aircraft? I know the engine is different. Is it more dangerous or safer? What are the advantages if there are any?

What kind of jet? Duct or Turbine?

d/f or tubine doesn't matter exept in the amount of thrust avail(and reliablity)
Jets have higher wing loadings, Have no "prop wash" over any control surfaces, usually fly faster all a round.

wing loadings go up do to shorter wing spans. needed for higher speeds and manuverablitiy at those speeds.
fuel, (and ordance in full size), larger engines and turbines are fuel guzzlers.
The plane must be moving at a given airspeed to have any effect and none is usually produced by the engine in conventional jets. So the plane has to be going so fast just to rotate and maintain a given airspeed to keep control. So what makes it different is getting use to all those new factors that are no longer present from the "prop planes" you were flying.
Now a "prop jet" that has has the prop in the back has a lot of statis thrust but most still applies from above. A prop on the front gives you a little prop wash over the controls usually allowing better control during take-offs and landings. However I've always noticed that most plane's airfame still "acts" like a jet and can still be unforging if pushed to far.
and then we can really go into theories and there are degrees of all that per plane etc...etc..etc..

I wanted to know about both of them. Ducted and turbine. Thanks for your help.
