Abstract
An internal combustion engine with controlled ignition and direct ignition. In the internal combustion engine at least one intake duct can generate in a cylinder a flow referred to as “tumble”, at least for certain engine operating phases. Further, a fuel injector is implanted so as to emerge in the cylinder such that the fuel jet tends to be intercepted by the part of the flow circulating in the direction opposite to that of the jet which is directed towards the spark plug.
