It is stated that the engine intakes produce 70% (?) of the thrust during some portions of the envelope. It sounds as if the plane is sucking its way through the air. Can anyone elucidate on this?
I don't recall hearing he term "thrust" before, but perhaps they are talking about the ram jet effect of pressure recovery balances throughout the engine.
