the first american turboprop engine was the general electric xt31, first used in the experimental consolidated vultee xp-81. the xp-81 first flew in december 1945, the first aircraft to use a combination of turboprop and turbojet power. the technology of the allison's earlier t38 design evolved into the allison t56, with quartets of the t56s being used to power the lockheed electra airliner, its military maritime patrol derivative the p-3 orion, and the widely produced c-130 hercules military transport aircraft. one of the most produced turboprop engines used in civil aviation is the pratt & whitney canada pt6 engine.
