"Another potentially usable technology would be the hot wire mass flow sensor, where the air flowing past cools down an electrically heated wire and the airspeed can be calculated from the wire's electrical resistance which changes according to temperature."

Kinda like the Pitot/HEAT combo, but without the Pitot?

Shows promise. That will save expensing for three pitots.
