A single cycle, rotary combustion engine having constant fuel feeding. A circular housing defines an annular chamber through which a complementally curved pistonhead travels and works only upon the explosive or combustion stroke. A drive shaft is supported transversely of the housing, such that a piston rod extends radially from the drive shaft through an inner sealing drum so as to present the curved pistonhead within the annular chamber. Fuel and air are fed through the piston rod within the annular chamber via one or more ports in the trailing edge of the pistonhead. An ignition point and an expulsion port, mounted approximately 280 DEG from each other are sealed from one another by rotary means. The engine is characterized by its elimination of valves and reciprocating parts.
