A vortex flowmeter comprises a vortex generating bluff body and a planar vortex sensor with leading edges of first and second halves thereof offset from one another by a distance equal to half wave length of sinuating streamlines created by vortices shed from the bluff body, wherein the planar vortex sensor is supported at the midsection thereof by a support member extending from the flowmeter body, and one extremity thereof is connected to a transducer while the other extremity is connected to the flowmeter body in an arrangement providing generally identical flexural vibration characteristics for the first and second halves of the planar vortex sensor.
