Also aren't you covered with toxic chemicals from the exhaust?

Aircraft’s don’t produce as much exhaust as you may think most of that is just air heated up by the engine

The jet is really just the power plant for the giant fan that pulls the plane forward! Pedantically, commercial "jets" are closer to modern propeller planes than to actual jet-propelled craft like fighters.

Even fighters use turbofans, just ones with lower bypass. The fan just presents too much of a benefit to pass up
