Abstract
An aircraft turboprop engine has at least a low-pressure body and a high-pressure body. The low-pressure body drives a propeller by a gearbox. The turboprop engine also includes means for supplying air to an air-conditioning circuit of an aircraft cabin, wherein the means for supplying air has at least one compressor of which the rotor is coupled to the low-pressure body. The compressor has an air inlet connected to means for bleeding air from an air inlet duct of the turboprop engine.
