Measuring airspeed through the GPS could be another alternative although it's accuracy at such high speeds has not been validated, AFAIK. Another alternative is to put a small propeller in the windstream and get the airspeed through the propellers rotation. Not very accurate as the windspeed could mess it up, but better than nothing.
