There is another V speed above Vne that a qualified test pilot is allowed to fly the aircraft to during testing.
Due to a very slow internet I am unable to find the authoritive source, but it is out there.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] For sale ASH-31 It may be that if you see you ASI reading 20kts above VNE you should tighten you harness and put your head forward in preparation for kissing your arse goodbye!

It is my understanding that it is a result of a design requirement not to exceed Vne in a 30 degree dive with full brake at gross weight................which is driven by the requirement to do a recovery from an unusual attitude when cloud flying. Which you aren't meant to do in Australia. Seriously, I'm all ears, GFA people. I'd love to hear the engineering justification for an ASI that goes to 20 knots over Vne. Or is this plucked from the nether regions during some meeting?
