Erdős's strong prime power conjecture for projective planes

From papers

A finite projective plane has an integer nn, called its order, such that each line contains n+1n+1 points, each point lies on n+1n+1 lines, and there are n2+n+1n^2+n+1 points and lines. Projective planes of every prime-power order arise from finite fields, while it is not known whether other orders occur. Strong prime power conjecture. If a projective plane of order nn exists, then nn is a prime power. The existence of a projective plane of order 1212 is still unknown, and known results do not rule out projective planes for all sufficiently large multiples of 44.
