A turbojet engine produce thrust solely by the high acceleration of air as it passes through and exhausts the core engine.
A turbofan accelerates a larger mass of air than a turbojet,the bypass air generates quite a bit of thrust due to the highly efficient design of the turbofan blades.At lower altitudes more than 80% percent of a high bypass engine's thrust comes from the shrouded fan,resulting in greater fuel efficiency.
