Abstract

We consider 4-dimensional flexible projective planes with the following properties: The collineation group is a 6-dimensional solvable Lie group which fixes some flag ∞ ∈ W. Furthermore, the collineation group has a 1-dimensional orbit both on W and on the pencil of lines through {∞}. We show that there are three different families of planes with these properties.
