Turbo prop question

I was channel surfing the other day and caught the tail end of some show
about rich people and their planes. Anyway the pilot of this one single
engine turbo prop said there was no mechanical connection between the
prop and engine. How can that be?


I didn't catch the name of the plane. but as I remember, there were 4
seats in the passenger area, and it was pretty roomy. The only other
distinctive thing I can remember is it had a fairly large cargo door
with a power assist to close it because it was so far over head when it
was open.
