In soviet times, some engineers from OMKB and OMO Baranov Polyot left to Zaporozhe Ivchenko Progress (Motor Sich) to manufacture helicopter engine turboshafts, turboprops, turbojets, turbofans and gas turbines. Due to forced soviet decentralization and partly due to medal achievements, engine dimensions and related rewarding, larger aircraft engines where endorsed (rather than smaller turbojets, turbofans, turboprops or helicopter turboshafts).
