An aircraft power plant, has: a combustion engine having an outlet outputting combustion gases; a turbine downstream of the combustion engine; a detonation combustion tube fluidly connecting the combustion engine to the turbine; a member having an open position in which the outlet of the combustion engine is fluidly connected to the turbine and a closed position in which the combustion engine is fluidly disconnected from the turbine; a fuel injector fluidly connected to the detonation combustion tube; an igniter operatively connected to the detonation combustion tube; and a controller operatively connected to the fuel injector and to the igniter, the controller configured to, in response to receiving of a command: inject fuel into the detonation combustion tube via the fuel injector, and once the member is in the closed position, power the igniter to ignite a mixture of the combustion gases and the fuel into the detonation combustion tube.
