A fuel valve for a fuel flow injection circuit, operating on electrical energy rather than hydraulic energy. The fuel valve has a valve body, a first fuel inlet opening, and a distribution assembly having a plug rotating in a bushing, the plug and bushing each having an opening slit. The valve body includes a fuel outlet opening section made by an overlapping area between the opening in the bushing and the opening in the plug. A plug position unit is provided to control a position of the plug in rotation, and the plug position unit is disposed in the valve body. The valve body further contains an electric motor that drives a rotation of a reduction gear assembly, the reduction gear assembly comprising an input shaft and an output pinion. The plug comprises a toothed sector engaging on the splines of the reduction gear assembly output pinion such that rotating the electric motor causes a rotation of the plug.
