Abstract
We give a geometric proof of the upper bound of q(2n+1) + 1 on the size of partial spreads in the polar space H(4n + 1, q(2)). This bound is tight and has already been proved in an algebraic way. Our alternative proof also yields a characterization of the partial spreads of maximum size in H(4n + 1, q(2)).
