On the airplane, most of that fan-generated breeze is going around the
outside of the engine cowling. The air inlets for engine cooling are
actually quite small, and they are adjacent to the prop hub where
relatively little thrust is generated. So that low-pressure generation
on the backside of the engine compartment is very important.
