Okay I get half of that

Why talk about thrust of an engine when the thrust is not related to motion (through the air in this case)?
Without that motion, if you talk about thrust of an engine, isn't it like talking about the apples of an engine? Kind of a non-related word.
An (pison) engine produces power, which turns the propeller, which produces thrust.

Still not clear I'm afraid
