Hi I am just comparing these 2 types of gas turbine engines for heli and rotorcraft use.

Just wondering about the pros and cons of using the jetwash to power a torque converter like this,

vs connecting the output gears directly to the main engine shaft. Like this.

Do we call them by diferent names, turboprop vs turboshaft?
