We define a Weyl-type curvature tensor that provides a characterisation for Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature. When the Finsler metric reduces to a Riemannian metric, the Weyl-type curvature tensor reduces to the classic projective Weyl tensor. In the general case, the Weyl-type curvature tensor differs from the Weyl projective curvature, it is not a projective invariant, and hence Beltrami Theorem does not work in Finsler geometry. We provide the relation between the Weyl-type curvature tensors of two projectively related Finsler metrics. Using this formula we show that a projective deformation preserves the property of having constant flag curvature if and only if the projective factor is a Hamel function. This way we provide a Finslerian version of Beltrami Theorem.

New classes of projectively related Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature
A new Weyl-type curvature tensor characterizes Finsler metrics of constant flag curvature and generates new explicit families of projectively flat Finsler metrics with constant negative or zero flag curvature.
