I wonder if you could accurately measure airspeed acoustically, instead of using pitot tubes and pressure? For instance, suppose you placed microphones near the trailing edge of the front wings, and near the leading edge of the rear wings.
But microphones ARE measuring pressure!
Basically you propose the same method for measuring airspeed, except less precise and as prone to disturbances by external objects (like ice).
