Abstract
The invention relates to a continuous detonation wave engine and aircraft provided with such an engine. The continuous detonation wave engine (1) operates with a detonation mixture of fuel and oxidant and includes, in particular, a detonation chamber (3) comprising an injection base (10), the length of which is defined along an open line (17), such as to form a detonation chamber (3) having an elongate form in a transverse plane, as well as an injection system (4) arranged such as to inject the fuel/oxidant so mixture into the detonation chamber (3) at at least one segment of the injection base (10).
