A system for sampling a moving fluid utilizes a housing in the shape of an
airfoil having a leading edge adapted to be disposed in the moving fluid
such that the moving fluid will initially encounter the leading edge. A
fluid flow pathway extends through the airfoil. One or more sampling
ports are formed in the airfoil on the airfoil's high pressure side. Each
sampling port is in fluid communication with the fluid flow pathway. The
system can also have one or more control ports formed on the low pressure
side of the airfoil. Each control port is in fluid communication with the
fluid flow pathway. The housing can be mounted to experience two
rotational degrees of freedom, and can have an aerodynamic tail assembly
coupled thereto.
