Reply to comment by InappropriateTA in TIL that passenger jet engines produce most of their thrust from fan at the front, not from the jet exhaust, and that this is called a high-bypass engine. by Rilot

Thrust is generated by the core and the high bypass. It’s around 70% thrust from the high bypass and 30% from the core. On newer engines it’s getting closer to 80% from the high bypass and 20% from the core.
