Assumes the exit is on the periphery and you're not stuck on a loop (a free standing wall in the interior).

Why not?

Is it somehow morally reprehensible? Because it would be ineffective? Do you want the govt to see your dick pics?

I'm curious about about your flat out rejection of this proposal.

The free pdf preview seems to consolidate some of the concepts from the register machine chapters of SICP.

Hot wire anemometers are very, very fragile. Installation on aircraft is not practical - a bug strike would render it inoperative.

Off the top of my head, there are at least two more potential ways of measuring AoA: 1. Similar to your ultrasonic lattice, but using a cone of hot wire anemometers, so that each wire is set at an offset angle to the 'zero' direction. As the AoA changes relative to the cone, the resistance on the different hot wires changes (some wires become more perpendicular to the freestream, thus cooler; others will align closer to the freestream with less opportunity to cool). By measuring the resistance differences with a bridge, it's possible to derive, angle of attack, sideslip and airspeed. 2. An elliptical body with various pressure ports around the circumference, plus a pitot port. The angle of the flow can be measured by the difference in pressure between the circumference ports (and dividing by the pitot pressure).
