Reply to comment by SatanLifeProTips in TIL that passenger jet engines produce most of their thrust from fan at the front, not from the jet exhaust, and that this is called a high-bypass engine. by Rilot
Also you can reverse thrust on a turboprop. The C-130 can literary do a 3-point turn while taxiing.
High-bypass jets do have thrust reversers, but they're more for slowing down while landing.
