Union of Pairwise Disjoint Baer Subplanes

If b = q² is a square, q²−q + 1 disjoint Baer subplanes with cardinality q² + q + 1 exist in the projective plane PG(2, b). By taking the union of i such subplanes, a projective [i(q² + q + 1, 3, i(q² + q)−q]-code over F_b is obtained for all i = 1,…, q²−q + 1.
