A rotary vane combustion engine (10) includes a hot wall combustion insert (260) to provide the heat for combusting a fuel-air charge, a rotor (100) having a plurality of vanes (120), a stator (200) enclosing the rotor (100) to form a plurality of vane cells (140) between the plurality of vanes (120), o ne or more intake ports (230) for providing intake gas to the vane cells (140), a hot wall combustion (260) insert with an exposed surface (261) provided on t he stator (200) for igniting the fuel-air charge during a combustion cycle and producing an exhaust gas, and one or more exhaust ports (250) for removing t he exhaust gas from one of the vane cells (140). The hot wall combustion insert (260) operates on the gas over a wide area, and the exposed surface (261) reaches the ignition temperature, it can use the heat from the combustion in a given vane cell (140) to maintain its temperature for combustion in the next vane cell.
