Abstract
Large-scale airborne communication networks are modeled, using a simulation of global, wide-body aircraft movements and assuming the use of optical communication links. Statistics concerning the expected node degree as function of communication range and ratios of connected aircraft are presented. It is found that, with an ambitious but plausible communication range of 450 km, on average 80% of world-wide, oceanic flights may connect to ground gateways via airborne networking in the simulation.
