1. A sensor device comprising:
a sensor element, which measures wind speed, including a temperature-sensitive resistor; and
a protective cover that protects the sensor element,
wherein the sensor element has a shape extending long along one direction,
wherein the temperature-sensitive resistor is formed along an entire circumferential direction about a centerline extending in the one direction, and
wherein the protective cover surrounds a periphery of the sensor element with a plurality of support pillars extending obliquely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the sensor element, allowing omni-directional wind speed detection in the circumferential direction.
