Summary:The influence on thrust parameter and efficiency from geometric parameters and design features of the ionocraft electrode is considered, dependences were obtained. The most effective mode of work lifters of the considered structures is achieved at low current. The increase of distance between the corona electrode and the collector gives the growth of thrust and thrust-to-power ratio up to some distance. It is advisable to use emitters with smaller diameter to reduce losses to the formation of the corona.
