## Abstract Characteristics of an upβdown type Mach probe are investigated by using a directional Langmuir probe (DLP) in unmagnetized plasmas with subsonic and supersonic flow produced by a magnetoβplasmaβdynamic arcjet (MPDA). The ion acoustic Mach number __M~i~__ is derived from plasma flow velo
