| Jun 4, 2016 at 2:37 | comment | added | CuriousOne | The energy loss due to friction is of almost no importance to a rocket, it compromises only about 5% of the total energy needed for the launch. What is of importance is the aerodynamic stress on the rocket, but Max Q (max. aerodynamic pressure) occurs at an altitude of approx. 10-15km (around 90s after liftoff) and is usually countered with a slight throttling of the engines. If there was a reason to reduce it significantly, we would be launching from high elevation sites (4000m+ in altitude), but technically it's really more of an inconvenience than a real problem. | |

Also ionizing air will make molecules split up in both positive and negative changed particles. So the rocket can't repel both. | |
