Not following here. How is it the same principle. I talking an aircraft with a propeller and a jet that uses thrust of the engine to make the aircraft go forward. An Aircraft with an propeller most of the time blows air over the wings to give lift. Where a jet propells the aircraft forward and the air from the speed on the aircraft lift the aircraft. But some jet aircraft have the engines mounted aft of the aircraft which maybe the suction of the engine could have enough to lift the aircraft
