Judging from my near-zero knowledge of high-bypass turbofans, I'm betting that the real engine is nearly all air intake as well.  Most of that air bypasses the jet/turbine part and is either used as "propellered" by fans or for air augmentation (I'm not sure about the bypass cycle).

Yep.  They are trying to exit the locomotive business.  Bad move in my opinion.  I mean, how are we supposed to model a proper hype train in ksp with no legacy locomotive on point?!
