Hi Scott and Aaron,

Jet Central do indeed make a "Turboprop" engine which could probably be converted to turbo-shaft. With regards to the shaft turning upon engine start, essentially yes but a centrifugal clutch can be fitted to allow progressive power application as rpm rises. I believe some turbine powered helicopters use this type of setup.

Cheers,
Smithy.
