Constructor Aleksandr Ivchenko designed small piston engines.
Use of the AI
designation for his engines began in 1944.
Ivchenko's first gas turbine engine was the AI-20
turboprop introduced in 1955. After 1968, the construction
bureau was led by Vladimir Lotarev. This organization is now
known as Ivchenko Progress and is based in the Ukraine. |
