I'm guessing 280-300 KIAS, but is it even faster?
Vmo if you don’t modulate your thrust. About 330 kias at sea level. The engines have ridiculous power. When they initially had the auto-rudder feature put in 100% of the required rudder on a V1 cut, there were crews that didn’t know they had lost an engine until they got airborne and cleaned up.
