The Pratt & Whitney XH-3130 (sometimes called the XL-3130[citation needed]) 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]
