No, the exhaust is not the primary thrust generator, unless you're talking about military jets. The fans themselves are creating the majority of the propulsion. Modern high bypass designs have bypass ratios of ~10:1, meaning for every 1 lb thrust generated from the exhaust, 10 lbs comes from the fan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_ratio |
