ABSTRACT:
A jet-propelled rotary engine comprises a stator and a rotor operatively coupled to the stator for rotation of the rotor relative to the stator about a rotor axis. The rotor comprises at least first and second jet assemblies wherein the first jet assembly defines a first converging flow region, a first diverging flow region downstream of the first converging flow region, and a first discharge port and wherein the second jet assembly defines a second converging flow region, a second diverging flow region downstream of the second converging flow region, and a second discharge port. The rotary engine further comprises a combustion region having an upstream portion and is adapted to cause a combustion reaction of an oxygen-fuel mixture in the combustion region in a manner to form combustion reaction products which comprise at least a part of thrust matter to be discharged through the discharge ports of the first and second jet assemblies. The rotary engine is adapted to combust at least some of the oxygen-fuel mixture in the upstream portion of the combustion region such that at least a portion of the combustion reaction occurs in the upstream portion of the combustion region and is adapted and configured to channel at least some of the thrust matter formed in the upstream portion of the combustion region through the discharge ports of the first and second jet assemblies.
