The points are ordered orthonormal two-frames, so is the Stiefel manifold . Changing an orthonormal basis of the same plane gives the displayed free right -action. Since is compact, the action is proper, and the quotient is the Grassmannian of unoriented two-planes. The Free proper Lie-group action theorem makesa principal -bundle.
