Abstract
An aircraft system comprises a first and second transceiver each configured to transmit and receive radio signals in respective first millimeter wave (mmW) frequency band and second mmW frequency band; and a processing unit configured to provide the data signals to the first and second transceivers for transmission and to receive demodulated signals from the first and second transceivers. The processing unit is further configured to output signals to alter the orientation of the first antenna to establish a first point-to-point connection with a first aircraft and to output signals to alter the orientation of the second antenna to establish a second point-to-point connection with a second aircraft; the first point-to-point connection and the second point-to-point connection forming part of a point-to-point aircraft relay ring network communicatively coupling a plurality of aircraft in a shared flight route area to each other.
