-Professor A.G. Bakanov currently is the successor to the Design Bureau (OKB) of I.M. Veedeneyev (builder of the M-3 and M-14) and Ivchenko.

-The company, based in Voronezh and under direction of Bakanov, has designed and built the M-16, M-17, M-18 and M-19 engines. All of them have a common cylinder design.

-They have also carried out the M-14 versions P, PF and X.

-The M-16 was intended to replace the famous M-14P. It was a two-row, 8-cylinder X engine with 90° between the cylinders in the same row. It delivered 300 CV and was installed in the Yak 56/57 and 58.

-The M-17 is a 4-cylinder engine that was built between 1992 and 2000. Initially it gave 150/173 hp at 2,950 rpm, and it delivered 200 hp in the M-17F version with fuel injection.

-The M-18 is a horizontally opposed two-cylinder engine and it has two versions. The -01 version gives 40 CV with carburetor, gear and a small direct supercharger on the rear.

-The -02 version gives 54 CV.

-The Bakanov M-19 (VOKBM M-29) has 4 horizontally opposed cylinders and gives 80 CV.

-From Ivchenko they inherited the AI-4 and its variants -B and -G, which delivered 55 hp at 4,500 rpm, and were manufactured between 1948 and 1955.
