Reply to comment by Good-Cardiologist679 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

Yes. But only in geared turbofan engines. Like the Pratt and Whitney 1900 series engines. This enables the fan to rotate more slowly compared to the high pressure compressor. Much more efficient than previous engines
