Default RE: Speed limits

thrust available has little to do with theroretical speed available, exhaust velocity is the actual defining element for max speed, thrust available just changes the time factor to achieve max.
as in reguardless of thrust available, no aircraft will be able to exceed it's tailpipe velocity in straight level flight.
