Abstract

This paper is a contribution to the investigation of flag-transitive non-symmetric 2-designs. We prove that if \({\mathcal {D}}\) is a non-trivial non-symmetric 2-\((v,k,\lambda )\) design with \((r,\lambda )=1\) and \(G\le Aut({\mathcal {D}})\) is flag-transitive with sporadic socle, then \({\mathcal {D}}\) must be one of following: a 2-(12, 6, 5) design with \(G=M_{11}\), or a 2-(22, 6, 5) design with \(G=M_{22}\) or \(M_{22}:2\).
