Flag curvature in Finsler geometry is an analoque of sectional curvature in Riemannian geometry. Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature (or scalar curvature and dim \(n\geq 3\)) are the natural extension of Riemannian metrics of constant sectional curvature. In this paper, the author finds the Killing vector fields of the general Bryant's metric and generates a lot of new Finsler metrics of constant (or scalar) flag curvature, calculating their scalar curvature.
