The invention concerns a fluid turbine flow meter including a rotatable longitudinal body of a turbine equipped with longitudinal blades and regularly distributed support arms of the blades connecting the blades to the rotatable body of the turbine, where each blade has on the support arm a plurality of separate longitudinal thrust members the cross sections of which are adapted to receive the thrust of the fluid jet when the blade is active and to allow circulation of fluid between the thrust members when the blade is inactive.
