ABSTRACT:
The probe comprises a wind vane (1) mounted for rotation on the aircraft in order to orient itself in the direction of the flow and provided with a detector (15) for detection of differential pressure representative of the aerodynamic angle of incidence of the wind vane, and a device for determining the orientation of the wind vane with respect to the aircraft. The probe comprises a control loop (14) adapted to cancel out the aerodynamic angle of incidence of the wind vane and controlled by the detector (15). The probe supplies the true angle of incidence of the aircraft directly.
