- It is known that for every smooth great circle fibration of the 3-sphere, the distribution of tangent 2-planes orthogonal to the fibres is a contact structure, in fact a tight one, but we show here that, beginning with the 5-sphere, there exist smooth great circle fibrations of all odd-dimensional spheres for which the hyperplane distribution orthogonal to the fibres is not a contact structure.
