ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine, which is particularly adapted for vertical take-off and landing aircraft, has a plurality of fixed annularly arranged combustion chambers and an opening in each chamber. The chamber openings are arranged to define either a cylindrical surface or a plane surface. The combustion chambers are arranged in groups and the groups may be staggered either radially or axially with respect to each other. A rotatable distributor has a surface conforming to the surface defined by the chamber openings and closely spaced from these openings. The distributor has a plurality of slots and recesses therein arranged in zones so as to coregister with the combustion chamber openings. Upon relative rotation of the combustion chambers and the distributor, heated and pressurized combustion gases are transmitted from one chamber to a succeeding chamber to provide for continuous ignition of a fuel-air mixture periodically introduced in the chambers while products of combustion are exhausting from the other chambers. As a modification, the distributor may be fixed and the combustion chambers rotatable.
