Some jet engines have turboprop variants, and turboprops are rated in horsepower/watts just like piston engines. It's also possible for propeller engines to be mounted in puller and pusher configurations.
While it's not possible to directly compare different engine types, what would happen if there was an aircraft that underwent little modification apart from having engines (in nacelles or pods) of different types and configurations but similar power ratings? How would changing the engine type and configuration impact characteristics such as acceleration, maximum speed, maximum altitude, and performance in different areas of the flight regime?
