| | Airliners.net Tech Ops: Jet Engine Thrust Percentage |
 | | The short answer is that in a modern high bypass engine, at takeoff thrust, about 75% of overall thrust comes from the fan; in cruise about 60% of the overall thrust comes from the fan. |
 | | A mixed-flow turbofan is one where the bypass flow and the core flow are mixed prior to being exhausted through a nozzle. |
 | | Most Low bypass TFs are mixed flow (JT8D, F404, F100, F101, F110, etc.), also the CFM56s on the A340's, The MD-90 motors, and the RB211s on the 757 are mixed-flow installations. |
