The main idea of the present investigation was to examine the influence of MW discharge structure organization on the BSW behavior and other AD characteristics of a body in SS flow. All our previous investigations were fulfilled with MW discharge filaments oriented normally to the flow axis and, hence, parallel to the BSW front in near-axis spatial region. Now the electric vector of EM wave orientation was changed in respect of flow velocity vector and it became parallel to the last, and therefore, a spike-like plasma region "pierced" the BSW. Experiments were made not only in air but in argon and carbon dioxide as well.
