The work reports the experimental study of the ionic wind structure in the needle-plane electrode system. With the electrode gap fixed, the needle inclination angle was varied. A laser anemometry unit was used to obtain the typical velocity distributions. The narrow central jet of the ionic wind has been shown to change its direction substantially in accordance with the inclination angle of the corona-producing electrode.
