Abstract: Combustion organization techniques based on plasma assisted ignition and combustion provide an excellent solution for combustion control in extreme environment and would be valuable for the development of advanced engine technology. Acceleration of reaction rate in supersonic combustion is one of the typical application in which the flow velocity limiting for flame-holding boundary would be extended by plasma. The achievements on plasma assisted combustion control mechanism were generally reviewed. Then the challenges of plasma application in high speed flow-field involved with compressible and intensive convection condition were analyzed. The status and progress of various plasma applications for supersonic combustion were demonstrated. The limiting factors such as structural compatibility and energy efficiency of plasma application were analyzed. Finally， some suggestions on plasma fundamental research and technique development in future were proposed.

Key words: Mechanism of plasma assisted ignition and combustion；High speed flow-field；Plasma discharge；Structure incorporation；Energy-efficient analysis
