Pratt & Whitney XH-3130

The Pratt & Whitney XH-3130 (sometimes called the XL-3130) was an H-block aircraft engine project developed for the United States Navy in the late 1930s.[1] The design was later enlarged as the XH-3730), but the project was canceled in 1940 in favor of Pratt & Whitney developing the R-4360 Wasp Major air-cooled radial engine.[2]

gollark: Oh, they dropped the 970's prices? In any case other 1TB disks are available for maybe £80-£90 and NVMe ones for a little more.
gollark: Pointlessly fast because sequential IO, which is the main point of NVMe disks, is not usually the bottleneck.
gollark: One of the pointlessly fast and expensive PCIe ones, too.
gollark: I just recognized 970 evos as being some sort of samsung SSD.
gollark: That doesn't apply to SSDs.
