    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing distributed airborne wireless communications are provided. An airborne wireless communication system may include: an airborne fleet comprising a plurality of airborne platforms; a distributed communication payload subdivided into parts, each distributed on respective airborne platforms. The communication payload comprises air-to-user link equipment and air-to-air link equipment to provide communications between the airborne wireless communication system and end-users and between individual airborne platforms; and payload control electronics to control the air-to-user and air-to-air equipment and manage operation of the airborne wireless communication system. The air-to-user link equipment comprises an RF antenna to produce an RF beam in a direction towards the ground. A communication cell is defined on the ground and in the airspace below the fleet bounded by a boundary of the RF beam. The air-to-user communication equipment is configured to provide communication links between the airborne fleet and end-user devices within the communication cell.
