Internal combustion engines are classified as rotary or reciprocating, depending on the nature of the motion. Rotary types include the open cycle gas turbines, used in the form of "turbojet" and "turboprop" engines for aircraft propulsion and the Wankel engine for vehicles. Reciprocating types include the diesel engine and the spark-ignition engine.  7, record 1, English, - internal%20combustion%20engine

Les moteurs thermiques utilisent un gaz chauffé; ce sont des convertisseurs d'énergie calorifique en énergie mécanique. [...] On distingue [...] les moteurs à combustion externe [...] et les moteurs à combustion interne, dans lesquels le fluide au travail est constitué par les gaz de combustion eux-mêmes (moteurs à allumage commandé encore appelés moteurs à explosion, moteur Diesel, turbine à gaz, turbopropulseur, statoréacteur, fusée.)  2, record 1, French, - moteur%20%C3%A0%20combustion%20interne
