Abstract
A method is suggested for calculating the total current to a plane wall probe located in the side surface of a hypersonic aircraft. The applicability of the method is limited by weaker conditions than those used in the well known works [1]. Comparisons of the results of probe experiments with those obtained from SHF inspection of the plasma and with calculations of other authors in the region of their applicability demonstrated satisfactory agreement.
