Abstract: In this paper we study random flights in R^d with displacements possessing Dirichlet distributions of two different types and uniformly oriented. The randomization of the number of displacements has the form of a generalized Poisson process whose parameters depend on the dimension d. We prove that the distributions of the point X(t) and Y(t), t geq 0, performing the random flights (with the first and second form of Dirichlet intertimes) are related to Klein-Gordon-type partial differential equations. Our analysis is based on McBride theory of integer powers of hyper-Bessel operators. A special attention is devoted to the three-dimensional case where we are able to obtain the explicit form of the equations governing the law of X(t) and Y(t). In particular we show that that the distribution of Y(t) satisfies a telegraph-type equation with time-varying coefficients.
