Reply to comment by GmeGoBrrr123 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

It's also huge, so it has an enormous area. That means it's moving a lot of air, and thrust is a function of how much air you move, and how hard you move it.
