I'd appreciate two things; first you read what I post before replying, and second that you then consider your reply.

As stated, the number of heads doesn't matter if they are all overwhelmed by one single external occurance. This is defined as a single point of failure in a critical system, itself a big no-no. There needs to be an alternate "back up" system which can deliver accurate airspeed without depending on the existing pitot heads.

Rgds.
