Unless you plan on having 1 satellite per airplane, something tells me it's harder to constrain the FOV than you might suggest. There's also the small problem of the energy, complexity, & weight of having motorized parts on the satellite (or fine-grained attitude control for the satellite itself to track the craft).

Agreed, my point is it's a lot harder than tiagod made it sound.

It also doesn't account for some kind of mobile jammer making it inside the cone, particularly if it's staring at an adversarial nation where secure comms would be needed the most, but the adversary would have freedom of movement.
