Device for measuring the characteristics of an air flow

An assembly comprising:

• a device for measuring the characteristics of an air flow intended to be mounted in an annular duct having a longitudinal axis in a turbine engine, the device comprising supporting means which support means for measuring the characteristics of an air flow, wherein the supporting means comprise at least one first support including a main branch supporting first measuring means and a second support, structurally independent of the first support and including a main branch supporting second measuring means, with the first support and the second support being so formed that the main branch of the first support extends over a distance greater than the main branch of the second support in a common direction of extension of said branches;
• and wherein the main branch of the first support supports at least one auxiliary branch provided with the first measuring means and the main branch of the second support supports at least one auxiliary branch provided with the second measuring means, with said auxiliary branches extending in a direction transverse to the direction of extension intended to correspond to a circumferential direction of the annular duct wherein the branches are mounted,
• the assembly further comprising an external annular duct having a longitudinal axis radially limited outwards by a radially external wall configured to support the device,
• wherein, with the main branch of the second support being, in a flow passage, radially shorter than the main branch of the first support, and the auxiliary branches extending circumferentially on different radiuses and each being provided with measuring means able to execute pressure and/or temperature measurements at various measuring points radially spaced apart on a circumference in said flow passage, the second support and the first support are so coupled together as to have only one degree of freedom relative to each other among one degree of freedom on the circumference and one degree of freedom along said axis.
