Results of experimental investigations of dependence of pulse corona velocity in strong electro- lytes are given. The contribution of rate of ionization front propagation to the general corona velocity is theoretically investigated. It is shown that hydrodynamic speed component has more substantial effect at starting points of time. At the same time the account of rate of ionization front propagation along with the hydrodynamic speed allows to receive better model accordance with the experimental data.
