1. Sensor device for measuring a direction of incident flow with which a flowing medium flows against the sensor device, comprising: a flow body which is set up to have the flowing medium flow around it,the flow body having a plurality of pressure-sensitive or force-sensitive sensor elements in the form of piezoresistive thin-film sensors arranged on an outer surface of the flow body or are arranged in the flow body and are connected to the outer surface of the flow body,the sensor elements being arranged behind one another along the intended course of the flow of the flowing medium at least partially around the flow body, andan evaluation device which is set up to use the sensor data generated by the sensor elements to determine a value of the direction of incident flow with which a flowing medium flows against and around the sensor device. 2. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor elements along the intended course of the flow around the flow body completely or partially surround the flow body. 3. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the thin-film sensors are produced by coating the outer surface of the flow body with the following layers: a) at least one piezoresistive sensor layer formed with doped or undoped hydrocarbon or pure carbon on the outer surface of the flow body,b) at least one electrode applied to the piezoresistive sensor layer, andc) at least one insulation and wear protection layer which covers the piezoresistive sensor layer and the electrode. 4. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor elements are arranged in at least two rows which each run along the intended course of the flow around the flow body and are offset with respect to one another. 5. Sensor device according claim 1, wherein the flow body has a circular cross section. 6. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor elements are connected to electrical contact points of the sensor device, which are arranged in a contact area of the sensor device, by means of electrical connecting lines which are guided through a sealing area of the sensor device, the contact area being set up not to come into contact with the flowing medium. 7. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor device has one or more heating elements in the flow body, which element(s) can be used to set a desired operating temperature of the sensor device. 8. Sensor device according to claim 7, wherein the heating element(s) is/are connected to a temperature regulator which is set up to keep the operating temperature of the sensor device constant. 9. Sensor device according to claim 7, wherein the heating element(s) is/are connected to a temperature regulator which is set up to keep the operating temperature of the sensor device so high that no ice can form on the flow body. 10. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein at least one temperature sensor is provided in or on the flow body. 11. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor device is in the form of a device for measuring the angle of attack and/or a device for measuring the drift angle for an airplane and has a standardized interface which can be connected to an on-board computer of an airplane, the current measured direction of incident flow being able to be transmitted via the interface. 12. Sensor device according to claim 1, wherein the evaluation device is set up to use the sensor data generated by the sensor elements to determine a value of the direction of incident flow with which a flowing medium flows against the sensor device while computationally including the flow characteristics of the flow body. 13. Sensor device according to claim 12, wherein the evaluation device is set up to use the sensor data generated by the sensor elements determine the position of one or two pressure maxima on the outer surface of the flow body and to determine, as the value of the direction of incident flow, a straight line through the positions of the two pressure maxima and/or, as the value of the direction of incident flow, a straight line through the position of one pressure maximum and the center of the cross-sectional area of the flow body in a section along the intended course of the flow around the flow body. 14. Sensor device according to claim 12, wherein the evaluation device is set up to use the sensor data generated by the sensor elements to determine the position of one or two pressure minima on the outer surface of the flow body and to determine, as the value of the direction of incident flow, a perpendicular to a straight line through the positions of the two pressure minima and/or, as the value of the direction of incident flow, a perpendicular to a straight line through the position of one pressure minimum and the center of the cross-sectional area of the flow body in a section along the intended course of the flow around the flow body.
