A pressure ratio sensor for producing a signal proportional to the ratio of two pneumatic pressures derived from two probes and comprising a casing, a diaphragm dividing the casing into two chambers each having an inlet, a needle attached to the diaphragm and extending through one of the chambers and controlling, in accordance with the position of the diaphragm, the effective area of an outlet from that chamber, the signal pressure from one probe being applied directly to one of the inlets, the signal pressure of the other probe being multiplied by a known factor, the multiplied signal pressure being applied to the other inlet and the position of the needle producing a signal indicative of the ratio.
