You got me confused. The "Um, what?" and then a statement reinforcing my comment has thrown me (the original point being that throttle settings/engine thrust alone don't control your airspeed). Were you disagreeing with me or controversially agreeing with me ?? (told ya I's gots confoozed !;) ). Is no matter.. I found it funny you scored 2 to my 1 for not actually saying anything of consequence/matter.. useful information thought it was;).
There is a throttle limit on all aircraft. On most it's 100%. On the rest it's usually marked as MIL and then AFT (military power and afterburner).
Airspeed is not based on engine thrust - consider the glider with no engine at all, breaking up in a dive because it's exceeded its airframe's maximum stress levels.
