Default Why does the shuttle throttle on ascent?

Well, a lot of people have never flown in combat, but one could have deduced
from the fact that we were talking about the P-51 Mustang (a WWII fighter
plane) and the "war" part in "war emergency power" that the most likely
application of war emergency power was indeed, um, during wartime? War, as
in, combat?


A lot of aircraft have flown in a lot of wartime, but they didn't do
it at emergency war power. Obviously, more than just wartime is
required to justify it.
