    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rating

    The maximum power measured is the nominal power of the module in Watts. Colloquially, this is also written as "W p"; this format is colloquial as it is outside the standard by adding suffixes to standardized units. The nominal power divided by the light power that falls on the module (area x 1000 W/m 2) is the efficiency.

    Meteor F8 WK935 at Royal Air Force Museum Cosford. Following some 55 hours of flight testing over 99 flights, the results were inconclusive; although the prone position concept was feasible, the development of special aviation clothing offered a simpler solution to the problem of counteracting inertial forces, and the prone position Meteor was no longer needed.
