What about using some piezzoelectric device which was mentioned in the very beginning
of this thread? Would that make sense or be applicable.
Piezo-resistive material could literally be sprayed on to the surface of the aircraft, facilitating multiple local pressure zones. The IAS could safely be calculated and the data could further be used for advanced anti-shake control and for computed compensation while flying in strong side-wind etc.
