Summary: We study some properties of the tangent bundles with metrics of general natural lifted type. We consider a Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) and we find the conditions under which the Riemannian manifold \((TM,G)\), where \(TM\) is the tangent bundle of \(M\) and \(G\) is the so-called general natural lifted metric of \(g\), has constant sectional curvature.
