Reply to comment by slater_just_slater 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

I'm aware of this, my point is that the fan is still spinning at a very high speed, and moves a ridiculous amount of air. 3000rpm still gives 50 rps which is very high especially given the size of the fan.
