Abstract
We find a family of 3d steady gradient Ricci solitons that are flying wings. This verifies a conjecture by Hamilton. For a 3d flying wing, we show that the scalar curvature does not vanish at infinity. The 3d flying wings are collapsed. For dimension $n \geq 4$, we find a family of $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times O(n-1)$-symmetric but non-rotationally symmetric $n$-dimensional steady gradient solitons with positive curvature operator. We show that these solitons are non-collapsed.
