This letter reports an experimental study of surface dielectric barrier discharge plasma aerodynamic actuation characteristics’ dependence on operating pressure. As the pressure decreases, the N2(C 3Пu) rotational temperature decreases, while its vibrational temperature decreases initially and then increases. In addition, the discharge mode changes from a filamentary type to a glow type at 45 Torr. In the filamentary mode, the electron density decreases with pressure, while the electron temperature remains almost unchanged. In the glow mode, however, both the electron density and the electron temperature increase while the pressure decreases. The induced velocity shows a maximum value at 445 Torr.
