Reply to comment by Ok-disaster2022 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
The fan at the front is really just a form of a turbojet with normal propellers. It is just propellers with a shroud around it.
Fun fact. The shroud makes these engines slightly less efficient but people dislike open propellers.
