A constant volume combustion system includes at least one combustion chamber having at least one admission port and an exhaust port. The system also includes at least one elastically deformable tongue made of ceramic matrix composite material forming an air admission valve, the tongue being present inside the chamber and being positioned facing the admission port, the tongue having a first end that is stationary relative to an inside wall of the chamber and a second end, opposite from the first end, the second end being free and movable relative to the inside wall.

A combustion module of a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, is configured for carrying out constant-volume combustion. The module includes a plurality of combustion chambers angularly distributed in a regular manner around an axis. Each chamber has an intake port for pressurized gas and an exhaust port for combustion gases. Each intake/exhaust port is configured to be opened or closed by a corresponding common rotating intake/exhaust valve which is coaxial with the axis.
