The CT_MACH and CP_MACH tables are optional. They apply a factor to Ct and Cp based on the helical tip Mach.

=== Sense ===
Sense is the direction of rotation. 1=clockwise (as seen from the cockpit) and -1 is counter-clockwise.
The sense tag goes in the parent tag of the thruster, typically in the <propulsion><thruster> section of the main JSBSim XML file.  Example:
    <propulsion>
        <engine file="Clerget9B">
            <location unit="IN">
                <x> 12 </x>
                <y> 0 </y>
                <z> 0 </z>
            </location>
            <orient unit="DEG">
                <roll> 0 </roll>
                <pitch> 0 </pitch>
                <yaw> 0 </yaw>
            </orient>
            <feed>0</feed>
            <thruster file="CamelProp">
                <sense>1</sense>
                <location unit="IN">
                    <x> 0 </x>
                    <y> 0 </y>
                    <z> 0 </z>
                </location>
                <orient unit="DEG">
                    <roll> 0 </roll>
                    <pitch> 0 </pitch>
                    <yaw> 0 </yaw>
                </orient>
            </thruster>
        </engine>
        <tank type="FUEL">
            <location unit="IN">
                <x> 60 </x>
                <y> 0 </y>
                <z> -5.62 </z>
            </location>
            <capacity unit="LBS">133.6</capacity>
            <contents unit="LBS">133.6</contents>
        </tank>
    </propulsion>
