Abstract: Results of experimental studies of deeply subcritical microwave discharge force action on bodies placed in a supersonic air stream are presented. The discharge has been ignited in a quasi-optical electromagnetic beam.

Keywords: plasma aerodynamics, microwave discharge, discharge initiator, force action.
