Shouldn't matter whether or not it's a prop plane of a turbine. Each is a variation on a similar theme. Neither flows enough air over the wings by itself to get the plane to take off. They are simply a means of "pushing off of the air" and creating enough forward movement so that enough air is passing past the wings (from the movement of the plane) for the Bernoulli to be right.
