Annotation

Plasma of transverse-longitudinal direct-current discharge in a supersonic aerodynamic channel with a reverse step is studied experimentally. For deposited powers of 2–3 kW, the gas temperature in the discharge achieves 2000 ± 500 K. The results obtained testify to the applicability of discharge plasma for the ignition of supersonic air-fuel flows.
