Default Re: Jet Engine Question

I sort of understand where you two are going. Here is what I do not get. The CJ2 cruises at an N1 setting of about 102%. I just do not understand how it could be 2% greater than the fastest it is supposed to spin. I understand being the engine being derated, but shouldn't the redline still be 100%?

Thanks,

Alex.
