Its fibre over a point of quaternionic projective space is the quaternionic line represented by that point. As a real vector bundle it has rank four, and its unit sphere bundle is . Right multiplication by a chosen imaginary unit equips it with complex rank two. Under the complex inclusion into quaternionic projective space, it restricts to , where is the complex tautological bundle. Thus its Euler class restricts to .
