if you accidently cut the life engine instead of the thrust engine - you "plow in" (front starts diving underwater).

In a two-engine configuration, the lift throttle and the thrust throttle could be mounted side by side with a horizontal tab on the lift throttle that overlaps the path of the thrust throttle, so that the act of reducing the lift simultaneously reduces thrust. You could reduce thrust without reducing lift, but you couldn't reduce lift without reducing thrust. There's got to be a name for that.
