Is there a way to make an aircraft with realistic acceleration?

I have a few projects coming up and, one of them is going to be very fast. So i was wondering if there is a way to increase or decrease the speed which it accelerates at. If anyone can think of a way or do know please let me know as well if you don't mind.

    @ZeroWithSlashedO thanks! This will most certainly help, it is kinda annoying for me to go mach 1 before i even take off lol.

    I have three options.
    1. Simplest. Make the "max" on the engine a higher number than 1. But this also makes your aircraft go faster.
    2. Simple, and easy implementation. But it also slows the deceleration. Add "throttleResponse" to the "Engine" part of the engine xml.
    2. A funky expression somebody gave to me. Easy to implement, and can make different acceleration to the deceleration. And that code is:
    smooth(clamp01(Throttle), Throttle ? 1/X : 1/Y )
    X being spool up time
    Y being spool down time
