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 Flight.

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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/turboprops/turbine-powered-diamond-da50-takes-flight#TD3ZbrYYksem4Ti0.99|title=Turbine-Powered Diamond DA50 Takes Flight|date=22 January 2015|access-date=26 January 2015|archive-date=26 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170726234554/http://www.flyingmag.com/aircraft/turboprops/turbine-powered-diamond-da50-takes-flight#TD3ZbrYYksem4Ti0.99|url-status=dead}} However, Diamond ended up getting EASA certification on its DA50 RG model with a Continental CD-300 engine in September 2020, and FAA certification in July 2023.{{cite web|url= https://www.diamondaircraft.com/en/about-diamond/newsroom/news/article/diamond-aircraft-da50-rg-receives-easa-certification/ |title=Diamond Aircraft DA50 RG receives EASA Certification|publisher=Diamond Aircraft, September 9, 2020|accessdate=November 22, 2023}}{{cite web|url= https://www.diamondaircraft.com/en/about-diamond/newsroom/news/article/diamond-aircraft-celebrates-da50-rg-faa-certification-and-first-us-customer-delivery/ |title= Diamond Aircraft celebrates DA50 RG FAA certification and first U.S. customer delivery |publisher=Diamond Aircraft, July 25, 2023|accessdate=November 22, 2023}}

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.
