They are and have been for many years the pinnacle of private aviation, as well as trusty people movers in the sky. Twin turboprops are classy, reliable, and most importantly, fast. All while being way more economical than their modern day competitor, the jet plane.

Twin turboprop aircraft are easily recognizable by their unique design which features, as the name implies, two propellers, typically flanking the fuselage of the aircraft.

How fast do twin engine turboprops fly? The planes that made it to this list of fastest twin prop planes, are capable of reaching top speeds of between 268 knots (309mph) and 402 knots (462 mph).

Not all twins will be able to reach these speeds, although it’s interesting that some single engine turboprop planes can achieve even faster speeds than some twin turboprops.
