"In a high-bypass design, the ducted fan and nozzle produce most of the thrust."
Can anyone share a reference to an article that backs up OP's claim? I'm genuinely curious. I've always assumed the bypass thrust was generated from a venturi-like interaction between the nozzle exhaust and the bypass airflow. I'm open to being schooled though.

Reply to 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
