N2 - In this letter, we investigate the tradeoff between reliability and beam training overhead in cooperative millimeter wave (mmWave) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications. In particular, we analyze how outage probability varies with the number of neighboring UAVs being probed as potential relays for relay selection. Unlike existing work, the limited number of UAV beams as well as UAV orientations are explicitly considered in our analysis. We derive the outage probability in closed form and verify our analysis via simulations. The results facilitate us to understand the fundamental limits of cooperative mmWave UAV communications.
