An aircraft engine has a hollow driveshaft with a spool coaxial with the driveshaft and extending through the driveshaft to rotate independently of the driveshaft. A first harmonic cam is mounted on the driveshaft and a second spaced apart harmonic cam is mounted on the spool. At least one combustion cylinder is positioned between the cams along a combustion cylinder axis that is parallel with but radially spaced apart from the driveshaft. A piston assembly is disposed in each end of the combustion cylinder, with each piston assembly engaging a separate cam. A high-pressure compressor turbine is mounted on the driveshaft and driven by movement of a piston assembly, compressing air for the combustion cylinder. A rotating component is mounted on the spool and driven by movement of the other piston assembly. The rotating component may be another compressor turbine, a drive turbine, a fan or a propeller.
