Abstract
With the aid of the computer algebra system GAP, we show that the glued near hexagon \({Q(5, 2) \otimes Q(5, 2)}\) has 16 isomorphism classes of hyperplanes. We give at least one explicit construction for a representative of each isomorphism class and we list several properties of such a representative.
