Abstract

The invention concerns a probe (S) for measuring physical parameters of a fluid flow generally directed rearwards of the probe, the probe comprising a structure (10, 20) bearing at least a sensor (C). The invention is characterised in that said structure comprises a part (20) whereof a leading edge (22) extends generally frontwards of the sensor and has a shape adapted to generate a vortex, and the sensor extends in the axial region of said vortex.
