Cellular communications using high altitude platforms will predominate the existing conventional terrestrial or satellite systems. Radio coverage of HAPs is an important issue that affect the cellular system design, therefore a deep analysis of the HAP cell footprint will be presented in two coverage models and the cell parameters are also deduced for subsequent cellular design. In the design stage, a cell generating algorithm is introduced to define their locations more accurate. When
