The collisional rates for momentum and energy transfer were recalculated for the case of relative drifts between ions of ionospheric importance and their parent neutral gas by using a new approach based on generalized Rosenbluth potentials. This new calculation takes properly into account the 'no hard-sphere' nature of the interactions and their dependence on the relative drifts of the interacting gases. Changes are found not only in the drift dependence of the collision number, but also in the dependence of the total collisional transfer for momentum and energy upon the drift and upon the neutral and ionic temperatures.
