Abstract: The spaces of flattenings of a simplicial sphere played a key role in the study of existence and uniqueness of differentiable structures on a simplicial sphere. In this paper, we will establish that the spaces of flattenings of some simplicial spheres and show that they have the homotopy type of the orthogonal group.
