To measure true air speed a pitot tube measures the dynamic pressure via a tube parallel to the direction of flow and a perpendicular tube to measure static pressure.

These pressures are then used to determine the speed, therefore you need both perpendicular and parallel tubes to measure true air speed.

Edit: wtf if the tube was facing away from the sodding wind it wouldn't bloody work.... Arghh I'm on a raaid thread!!!!!
