Autothrottles typically synchronize with the autopilot and operate in either speed or thrust mode, creating many practical hands-free benefits, like flight envelope over- and under-speed protection. Many modern aircraft also offer an additional power boost in case of an engine failure during takeoff known as reserve thrust.
