Fuselage-mounted angle-of-attack probe

for aircraft

The 14-hole omnidirectional probe from Vectoflow allows the measurement of flow angles up to 160°. This probe is especially made for measurement tasks where the angle of attack is unknown, or even reverse flow is expected. Like all probes from Vectoflow, the 14-hole probe is also made by additive manufacturing, giving a high geometrical flexibility and a very high robustness at the same time.
