English term or phrase: Flat rated engine

Context:

When an engine is Flat rated it means that an engine of high Horsepower rating is constrained to a lower horsepower rating. The engine output in this case will always remain the same, but when atmospheric conditions such as high temperatures and high altitude (Hot and High) reduce the power output of the engine it has more headroom before it falls below the limited maximum output. In some cases the total power output of an engine needs to be constrained because the airframe can only handle a certain force. This is the case with Gas Turbine engines. Flat rating allows airplanes to operate under more demanding conditions, without the need for extra structural strengthening due to higher peak power output of the engine.

应该有个固定的译法,但找不到了.谢谢各位.

Chinese translation:固定推力发动机 or 固定输出功率发动机

Explanation:
According to the explaination of the original, "flat rated" means "The engine output in this case will always remain the same...", so I think the term can be translated into "固定推力发动机" or "固定输出功率发动机".
