regime massimo

English translation: maximum speed

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:regime massimo
English translation:maximum speed
Entered by: antoinette chappell

Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / air intake lip testing
Italian term or phrase: regime massimo
'alimentare il motore anche nell’abbinamento di velocità nulla e regime massimo'

Above is the sentence and so far I have 'to power the engine even when zero speed is combined with maximum ....' I obviously can't use 'speed' again. Can I use 'revs' or does 'regime' have another meaning in this context?

Any help much appreciated:)

maximum speed
Explanation:
it may sound strange but what they are saying is to alternate the engine between idling speed and maximum speed; probably some sort of stress or fatigue test
