It is shown that, if D is a nontrivial 2‐ ( v , k , λ ) symmetric design, with ( k , λ ) = 1 , admitting a flag‐transitive automorphism group G of affine type, then v = p d , p an odd prime, and G is a point‐primitive, block‐primitive subgroup of A Γ L 1 ( p d ) . Moreover, O ( G ) acts flag‐transitively, point‐primitively on D , and D is isomorphic to the development of a difference set whose parameters and structure are also provided.
