Cuban8- hate to say it, but youmay be right. But how much of the 'thrust' is, in fact, the front face of the engine 'sucking' it's way forward (new, non- physical expression)? After all, a jet compressor is an aerofoil section on which the lift acts forward. Therefore, with the loss of this new, mysterious 'sucking forward' effect on one side, then there will be an asymmetric effect?
