>>1631882Someone from the gayjewsphere commented turbojets were built considering the compressor was generating a lot of thrust, then high bypass turbofans were designed over them and lots of nonsensical decisions for this situation stayed.
You can see a refresh of those ideas in juiced propfans (unrestricted air flow into the compressor on the front, better ways to convert the exhaust gas into propeller motion, which also has unrestricted air flow, ...) or greated turbofans, which are a very old idea.
