Claim Text:
1. A sensor system for performing measurement of environmental conditions affecting an aircraft, the sensor system comprising: an air intake duct for receiving air; a screen mounted behind the air intake duct for screening the received air; an air flow diverter, having first and second inlet holes, first and second outlet holes, and first and second diverter arms, for receiving the screened air having passed through the screen, for separating, using the first and second inlet holes, the screened air into first and second portions of the screened air, respectively, and for diverting, using the first diverter arm, paths of the first and second portions of the screened air; at least one environmental condition sensor for sensing an environmental condition in the second portion of the screened air; and an air outlet duct for outputting the first and second portions of the screened air after the at least one environmental condition sensor has sensed the environmental condition in the second portion of the screened air, wherein the air flow diverter diverts the second portion of the screened air perpendicular to the at least one environmental condition sensor, and wherein the second diverter arm directs the screened air through the first and second outlet holes to the air outlet duct.
