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.

Jet engines and their principles were one of the main reasons I knew I wanted to be an Aerospace engineer.

Massive blades spinning at incredibly high speeds move a shit ton of air, beyond that its just a matter of Newtons third law. If you throw a lot of stuff out of the back at high speed, you're gonna move forward.

No, the fans are there to cool the plane down, you can tell because when they stop in the air the pilot starts to sweat.
