... oh, I see, not what you are asking. Couldnt resist, sorry.
The general technique for a turbine engine is to keep a fair bit of power flowing and compensate by increasing the drag with spoliers,speed brakes etc. The theory being that when you need power to go around you dont want the lag in getting full power as you attempt to push the throttles through the front window.
