The invention relates to an internal combustion engine having a block 10 of cylinders 1 arranged in a ring around a central axis 12 and containing pistons 14 which cause a common output shaft 23 to rotate by means of an inclined plate 16 mounted on an oblique auxiliary shaft 21 integral with the output shaft 23. A feed device 28 controlling the admission and exhaust of the combustion gases is associated with the cylinders 1, which device comprises a rotary slide valve 40 rotating about the axis 12 by the driving of the output shaft 23 and having admission ducts 44 and exhaust ducts 45 which, when the slide valve 40 rotates, selectively connect the inlet ports 27 on the cylinders 1 either to an admission chamber 42 or to an exhaust chamber 43 of the combustion gases, or seal them of. <IMAGE>
