Another visualization for this...I visited the GE factory last year and
was able to stand inside the inlet of a 777's GE90 engine. That
particular model had a mass flow rate of about 3,000 lb/s. That's as
much air in one second as there was in the building we were in (a large
warehouse). Pretty impressive.
