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
