To the worryguts fearing damage to the airframe because of 'unplanned spontaneous disassembly', why would that be different from the countless turboprops in use already? Be it civilian or military.
edit: I expect this leading to something like 'slow steaming' in container shipping, topping out at somewhere between 750 to maybe 800 kph airspeed, instead of up to 950, as it is now.
