ABSTRACT:
An air flow sensor includes a duct forming a part of an intake passage, and a detection device. A swirl generating structure is also arranged in the duct to generate a swirl in the duct. A projection extending upstream from the opening at the upstream end of the duct is further disposed on the swirl generating means. Thus, the air flow rate can be accurately detected without requiring a structural member for the intake system.
