I am not a pilot, but I can give a guess. Your device cannot measure airspeed, and airspeed is critical as to whether the aircraft stalls. I don't think there is a compact technology (doesn't kill aerodynamics) that can measure airspeed without sticking something small out into the wind (which makes it prone to icing up).
