Bigger engines with bigger fans have significant idle thrust,....
But that doesn't have to go hand in hand does it?

I mean the majority of the thrust could well be in the fan speed and the fan speed doesn't always have to match a significantly high compressor speed in idle .

I wonder if anybody has any relative data for the latest high-bypass generation engines including a 3 spooler or a geared fan?
