Polish manufacturer PZL-Mielec used the Progress ZMKB AI-25TL engine in the PZL M15 cropduster. Both the largest plane in the world, the Antonov An-225 Mriya and the largest helicopter, the Mil Mi-26, are powered by Progress/Lotarev engines. The bureau is administered by the

History

The Company has been involved for 60 years in the design of engines to power aircraft and helicopters of various types, and also designs drives and special equipment for industrial applications. Three notable designers have led the development during this time: * 1945–1968: Oleksandr Heorhiiovych Ivchenko ( uk, Олександр Георгійович Івченко) (Aleksandr Georgevich Ivchenko) * 1968–1989: Volodymyr Oleksiyovych Lotaryev ( uk, Володимир Олексійович Лотарєв) (Vladimir Aleksevich Lotarev) * 1989-2010: Fedir Mykhailovych Muravchenko ( uk, Федір Михайлович Муравченко) * 2010-: Ihor Fedorovych Kravchenko ( uk, Ігор Федорович Кравченко) Initially General Oleksandr Ivchenko designed piston engines. These engines were denoted AI. Work on their first turbine engine, the TS-12, began in 1953. Since the beginning of the 1960s the company have been developing bypass gas turbine engines. Under the direction of Volodymyr Lotarev, the organization developed the first operational Soviet high-bypass turbofans, the Lotarev D-36 in 1971. This organization is now known as Ivchenko-Progress ZMKB and is based in Ukraine. Their engines are being operated successfully by numerous airlines around the world, including Volga-Dnepr, Antonov Airlines, Enimex, and Polet. In January 2015, Diamond Aircraft of Austria announced the first flight of the Diamond DA50-JP7 powered by a 465 hp AI-450S turboprop engine developed by Ukraine's Motor Sich JSC and Ivchenko-Progress.

is powered by these engines and flies up to 40,000 feet.

Production

True to the Soviet tradition, design is kept separate from production. Many of the bureau's designs were or are produced at Motor Sich, located at Zaporizhzhia International Airport.
