Forgive my ignorance - I haven't got to the chapters on jet engines yet. But my understanding was that jets are rated to produce a certain amount of thrust, not power.

For a given amount of thrust, power = thrust x speed. So to increase the power, you simply have to get your aircraft to go faster (e.g. by lowering the nose). This would make the concept of "more than 100% power" meaningless.

Do you mean more than 100% thrust?

(And sorry, but even if that is what you mean, I can't answer your question. Like I said, I haven't got to the chapters on jet engines yet!)
