Turboprop airliners
Propeller airliners still fly many short routes, especially to smaller airports and islands. They're slower than jets but efficient on short hops.
Wing position and the tail are the quickest way to tell them apart.
How to tell them apart
High wing, two engines, a T-tail
An ATR 42/72, or a Dash 8 Q400 (longer nose, very tall landing gear).
Low wing, two turboprops
A Saab 340, Jetstream or Beech 1900.
Small and boxy, high wing, landing gear that doesn't retract
A Twin Otter, often on floats or skis.
