Abstract
In order to transmit information between an emitting station and a receiving station separated by a distance exceeding the range of direct communications of said stations, the method according to the invention consists in equipping aerodynes, travelling in the space included between these two stations, with open communications relay systems of limited range which can momentarily interconnect, when within range of one another, in order to pass information from relay system to relay system up to its destination. The invention applies notably to air-to-ground communications for data links in the field of air transport.
