Abstract: An engine system capable of controlling an intake air flow includes a combustion chamber, an ignition plug, an intake air flow control valve, and a controller. The controller performs, in at least a part of an operating range, SPCCI combustion in which after jump-spark ignition combustion of a portion of a mixture gas inside the combustion chamber by a jump-spark ignition of the ignition plug, compression ignition combustion of the remaining mixture gas is carried out by a self-ignition. The controller strengthens, at least in a part of the operating range of SPCCI combustion, the intake air flow inside the combustion chamber by controlling the intake air flow control valve. The controller controls, in a middle-load range of the operating range where SPCCI combustion is performed, the intake air flow control valve so that the intake air flow becomes weaker than in a high-load range and a low-load range.
