I'm new to flight gear and I was looking over JBsim's Aeromatic 0.7
aircraft configuration file generator.  I generated the propellor
profile file and I was presented with this:-


<xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Generated by Aero-Matic v 0.7

     Inputs:
       horsepower:   270
       pitch:        fixed
     Outputs:

I have an understanding of the IXX, diameter, numblades etc...   What
I do not understand is what follows

C_THRUST   11 1
  0.0  0.0936
  0.1  0.0927
  0.2  0.0918
  0.3  0.0909
  0.4  0.0828
  0.5  0.0738
  0.6  0.0630
  0.7  0.0490
  0.8  0.0360
  0.9  0.0200
  1.0  0.0040
  C_POWER   11 1
  0.0  0.0594
  0.1  0.0585
  0.2  0.0576
  0.3  0.0558
  0.4  0.0540
  0.5  0.0522
  0.6  0.0495
  0.7  0.0432
  0.8  0.0342
  0.9  0.0225
  1.0  0.0090

To me it looks like it might be the power profile of the engine, but I
would like a better clarfication about it if its possible.

Thanks in advance.
