In the realm of cutting-edge wireless technologies such as 6G and beyond\, the goal is\nto seamlessly integrate NTN nodes into terrestrial networks. Currently\, there are isolated deployment examples\, such as\nLE O mega-constellations. This presentation focuses on the design of a multi- layer airborne backhaul network\, utilizing\nHAPSs and rotary-wing UAVs to establish free space optical (FSO) backhaul connections with ground-based stations.\nHAPS fleets operate in circular tracks at stratospheric altitu des. Conversely\, rotary-wing UAVs operate at medium and\nlower altitudes\ , complementing HAPSs.
