    Abstract: A Brayton cycle engine and method for operation. The engine includes an inner wall assembly and an upstream wall assembly each extended from a longitudinal wall into a gas flowpath. An actuator adjusts a depth of the detonation combustion region into the gas flowpath between the inner wall assembly and the upstream wall assembly. The engine flows an oxidizer through the gas flowpath and the inner wall captures a portion of the oxidizer. The engine further adjusts the captured flow of oxidizer via the upstream wall and flows a first flow of fuel to the captured flow of oxidizer to produce rotating detonation gases. The engine flows the detonation gases downstream and to mix with the flow of oxidizer, and flows and burns a second flow of fuel to the detonation gases/oxidizer mixture to produce thrust.

    Abstract: An injector for a gas turbine combustion chamber, includes a fluid feed system; an injector body extending along a longitudinal axis; an injection head arranged on the injector body and configured to spray the fluid in a direction that is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis; and an actuator configured to turn the injector selectively about the longitudinal axis so as to vary the direction in which the fluid is sprayed; wherein the actuator is configured to enable the orientation of the injector to be varied by turning about the longitudinal axis through an amplitude less than or equal to 90°.
