Abstract
A turbine engine combustion chamber including: an outer annular housing; a flame tube connected to the outer housing. The flame tube includes an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall and a second axial outlet portion of the flame tube. The flame tube also includes a chamber base located at the inlet of the flame tube; and a fuel injection system configured to inject fuel into the flame tube via the inlet of the flame tube. The injection system includes an injector axis, and an air manifold to move air towards twists in the injection system. The twists are arranged around an implantation axis. The air manifold includes a circular portion around the injector axis. The circular portion, forms an air inlet of the manifold. The opening places the entering air flow in rotation about the implantation axis.
