Abstract
A measurement device can be attached to an outer wall of a movable object or of a stationary object arranged in a flow of air in order to measure physical quantities. The measurement device includes a mounting which has recesses having an opening leading to the outside in which sensors are provided. All of said openings of said recesses are covered by a single film. The film thus makes it possible to offer a surface which is as smooth as possible, having very low roughness with no unevenness. It also makes it possible to ensure the tightness of the sensors as well as the air insulation between all the sensors of the mounting.

A measurement device configured to be attached to an outside of an aircraft surface, the measurement device comprising:
- a support having a first face configured to contact the aircraft surface, a free face, and recesses provided with openings in the free face leading toward the outside;
- sensors provided in said recesses, wherein all of said openings of said recesses are covered by a single film, wherein said recesses have a height such that the sensors are not in contact with the single film, and
- a flexible printed circuit connected to the sensors such that the flexible printed circuit is on one side of the sensors and the single film is on the other side of the sensors,
- wherein the sensors are configured to be operational without contacting the single film,
- wherein the sensors are not directly connected to the single film.
