ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the measurement of the total pressure of a fluid flow, especially the total pressure of the airflow surrounding an aircraft. The invention proposes to replace a pitot tube with a device in which at least two fluid streams are taken off from the flow. These streams are brought into contact with each other so as to be mutually slowed down in a region (11) where the pressure is measured. This measured pressure is representative of the total pressure (Pt).
