...pressure differential across the duct surfaces .... that which is angled to give a forward vector component yields a thrust ..

Similar reasoning applies to any jet engine in that a lot of the thrust comes from the intake/nacelle leading edge design .... the argument can be carried right through the length of the engine surfaces...
