Concorde engine intake developed "Thrust"

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?

WRT the doppelganger thread readers of the SUN in the UK will know that Concorde in fact had two APUs - just that the crew never read the ACM or were never told anything about it.
