Well, what happens is that when freezing occurs and the autothrottle
goes haywire, the IAS will read 0, and the auththrottle will think
that, and will push the throttles to full, trying to reach the airspeed it
is set for.
What I am talking about in an A-340 is flying at 37,000 feet, with
the engines at full power. An A-340 can, at 37,000 feet, reach
Mach 1.1 if the engines are at full power.
I have had Mach 2.98 in a Concorcde in MSFS, so the Concorde,
when it was flying, was capable of reaching Mach 2.98 at an
altitude of 55,000 feet. At that rate of Speed, New York to
London could be achieved in about 2.5 to 3 hours.
