A pitot tube requires ram air AND a static pressure source (dual source) and displays the difference. Very sensitive device measuring small amount of pressure differences.
Aren't MAF and MAP single source sensors? I don't think they have enough resolution for anything beyond their intended purpose. I'm just guessing on this point though.
