can you guys explain what 104% means in this paragraph

NASA's latest assessment of orbiter ascent and landing weights incorporates currently approved modifications to all vehicle elements, including crew escape provisions, and assumes a maximum Space Shuttle main engine throttle setting of 104 percent. It is noted that the resumption of Space Shuttle flights initially requires more conservative flight design criteria and additional instrumentation, which reduces the following basic capabilities by approximately 1,600 pounds:

I like to give 109% myself, no need to push things too far

I think 30% commitment might be just right...

100% is probably the safe limit for constant use.

oh that makes sense

by the same token, we can say that 100% is normal max efficiency, and 110% is that bit more over the safe limit 🙂

You know, you just gotta get out there and give 110% percent, and you know, you hope you win...

...for the good of the team, right? because we're all about winning games.

(snip)
throttle setting of 104 percent.

Throttles can go above 100%... as I understand it 100% is the maximum sustained setting?

(I've heard that current military helicopter throttles can go up to 115%- which would be full throttle but keeping it at 115% for long would tend to wear out/overheat the engine very quickly)

(edit for splling)
