This engine includes an engine block (2) rotatably mounted on a support (4) and including a central chamber (8) communicating with outwardly protruding radial piston chambers (10) closed by cylinder heads (12). A crank shaft (14) is rotatably mounted in the engine block (2) parallel to the rotation axis of the latter and radially offset therefrom. A drive train couples the engine block (2) with the crank shaft (14) for causing rotation of the two in the same direction and at equal rotational speed. A piston (104) is reciprocable in each piston chamber and all the pistons are linked by connecting rods to the crank shaft at connecting points which are angularly advanced in the direction of rotation of the engine block (2) relative to the longitudinal axes of the piston chambers (10). It follows that the combustion stroke is effected while the connecting rods exert a maximal torque on the crank shaft (14).
