A fibration of $$mathbb R^n$$Rn by oriented copies of $$mathbb R^p$$Rp is called skew if no two fibers intersect nor contain parallel directions. Conditions on p and n for the existence of such a fibration were given by Ovsienko and Tabachnikov. A classification of smooth fibrations of $$mathbb R^3$$R3 by skew oriented lines was given by Salvai, in analogue with the classification of oriented great circle fibrations of $$S^3$$S3 by Gluck and Warner. We show that Salvai’s classification has a topological variation which generalizes to characterize all continuous fibrations of $$mathbb R^n$$Rn by skew oriented copies of $$mathbb R^p$$Rp. We show that the space of fibrations of $$mathbb R^3$$R3 by skew oriented lines deformation retracts to the subspace of Hopf fibration, and therefore has the homotopy type of a pair of disjoint copies of $$S^2$$S2. We discuss skew fibrations in the complex and quaternionic setting and give a necessary condition for the existence of a fibration of $$mathbb C^n$$Cn (respectively, $$mathbb H^n$$Hn) by skew oriented copies of $$mathbb C^p$$Cp (respectively, $$mathbb H^p$$Hp).
