I am not sure this is really correct - turbojets (as in fighter jets) sound more like what you describe, turbofans if I remember correctly, get most of the thrust (>70%?) from bypass air around the combustion, and very little from actual combustion thrust. It just also feeds it's own combustion chamber air to keep the fan part going.
Perhaps it is a fan if enclosed? Vs. a prop if not?
- imnotreallynew 4y agoMost modern fighter jets have turbofan engines as well.
