Have you ever turned a turbine engine? Yep, the wind easily turns the bypass fans. When I had a friend flying for UPS, we climbed up into the intake of a 767. You could easily grab the blades and spin them around at a pretty good clip. We scared the hell out of the load master who saw the thing start to turn with vigor and thought the engines were being start on him.
