The present invention relates to an apparatus intended for simultaneously measuring the speed and direction of a fluid in motion, fitted with a sensor element 3 intended to be exposed to the fluid to be measured and having a constant profile in all the possible directions of displacement of the fluid, and comprising a casing 1 in which is mounted a rod 2 which can bend elastically, one part 4 of which extends outside the casing, and which comprises at its corresponding end 5 the sensor element 3, this rod 2 being held in the casing at two points 7, 8, the first point 7 being situated at the end of the rod furthest from the one 5 which supports the sensor element 3, and the second point 8 being situated between the two ends of the rod 2. The rod 2 is held at the second point 8 by a connection of the ball joint type. A measurement device 6 is contained in the casing and makes it possible to determine the amplitude and the direction of the radial displacement of a particular point P of the rod, with respect to the casing, caused by the action of the fluid on the sensor element 3. <IMAGE>
