Military aircraft for example can often reach high speeds for a short duration. This is not improvised but designed and rated for. Most modern CPUs have non sustainable boost speeds that they can reach but not sustain due to thermal limits. Electric turbochargers often can only operate in short bursts. There are countless more examples.
